Doctors have several different methods to treat a blood clot; if a patient has an arterial clot, a doctor may have the patient undergo catheter-directed thrombolysis. This technique delivers drugs to the problem site to break down the clot. In the event of an emergency, the patient may need to undergo surgery to remove the clot before it blocks blood flow to the vital organs. In order to treat a venous clot, a doctor may prescribe blood-thinning medication to enable the blood to pass around the site of the clot more easily.
