Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) Treatment in Swindon

At The Vein Clinic, Swindon, we provide expert diagnosis and treatment for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) — a blood clot in the deep veins of the leg or pelvis. Left untreated, DVT can cause serious complications, but with modern techniques we can remove acute large clots in the ilio‑femoral veins and restore healthy circulation.

What is Deep Vein Thrombosis?

DVT occurs when a clot forms in a deep vein, usually in the calf, thigh, or pelvis. This can block blood flow, causing pain, swelling, and in severe cases, a life‑threatening pulmonary embolism.

DVT Symptoms to Watch For

• Sudden swelling, pain, or tenderness in the leg


• Skin that feels warm or looks red/blue


• Prominent surface veins


• Shortness of breath or chest pain (urgent emergency symptom)

Who is at Risk?

Risk factors include:

• Prolonged immobility (long flights, hospital stays, recovery after surgery)


• Recent injury or surgery


• Inherited clotting disorders


• Pregnancy or hormone therapy


• Cancer treatment


• Smoking or obesity
