thrombectomy
Surgical clot extraction
Thrombectomy is the surgical removal of a blood clot from a blood vessel.
The procedure is most commonly performed to treat strokes caused by clots blocking arteries to the brain, or to clear clots from deep veins in the legs.
The patient underwent an emergency thrombectomy after the stroke.
