Thrombectomy is a procedure that is used to remove a blood clot (thrombus) from an artery or vein. It is usually performed using a catheter and can be either an endovascular (inside the vessel) or open (outside the vessel) procedure.
Arterial Thrombectomy
Arterial thrombectomy is the removal of a blood clot from an artery. This procedure is typically done using endovascular techniques, such as angioplasty or stenting. Endovascular thrombectomy is done by inserting a catheter into the artery, and then using a device to break up and remove the clot.
Venous Thrombectomy
Venous thrombectomy is the removal of a blood clot from a vein. This procedure is typically done using open techniques, such as surgery or thrombectomy. Open thrombectomy is done by making an incision in the vein and then using a device to break up and remove the clot.

A thrombectomy is a medical procedure in which a clot is removed from an artery or vein. This procedure can be done surgically or with a catheter. In either case, the clot is removed from the artery or vein, allowing blood to flow freely again. This procedure is usually done when a patient is suffering from a blockage in the artery or vein, or when there is a risk of stroke or heart attack due to a clot. Thrombectomy can be a life-saving procedure and can be done on both the arterial and venous systems.

Thrombectomy is a procedure that involves the surgical removal of a blood clot, or thrombus, from an artery or a vein. Depending on the location of the clot, thrombectomy can be either arterial or venous.
Arterial thrombectomy involves the removal of a blood clot from an artery. Arterial thrombectomy is used to treat arterial thrombosis, a condition in which a blood clot forms in an artery and blocks the flow of blood to the tissues and organs that the artery supplies. During the procedure, an incision is made in the artery and the clot is removed. This procedure is often used to restore blood flow to the affected area and prevent complications such as stroke, heart attack, or tissue damage.
Venous thrombectomy involves the removal of a blood clot from a vein. Venous thrombectomy is typically used to treat deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a condition in which a blood clot forms in a deep vein and can cause pain, swelling, and other symptoms. The procedure involves making an incision in the vein, removing the clot, and then closing the incision. Venous thrombectomy is used to restore blood flow and reduce the risk of complications such as pulmonary embolism.
In summary, thrombectomy can be either arterial or venous, depending on the location of the clot. Arterial thrombectomy is used to treat arterial thrombosis, while venous thrombectomy is used to treat deep vein thrombosis. Both procedures involve making an incision in the affected vessel and removing the clot.

Thrombectomy is a procedure that involves the removal of a blood clot from a vein or artery. It is typically done to restore blood flow to an area of the body that has been affected by a clot. In terms of which vessel it is performed on, thrombectomy can be done on either an artery or a vein. An arterial thrombectomy is done to remove a clot from an artery, while a venous thrombectomy is done to remove a clot from a vein. The method of thrombectomy used will depend on the location and size of the clot, as well as the underlying cause of the clot.
