Anti Dvt
A person has 4 DVT's left arm. Anti coagulation is contraindicated. What can he do and what is the prognosis?
He had a brain bleed July 14th and got the DVT's following a picc line several days later. He also has a defibrillator and we wondered if it was a bad idea for him to have a picc line on the same side ( can they share a space). He is 64 years old and was a very active person. No treatment of any kind was initiated by physicians, not even a compression stocking.
This is not good but I am sure you have already come to this conclusion on your own.
In his case with being a HIGH risk for a bleed the Doctors can not take the chance at giving thinners. There fore it is a wait and see game. If it gets worse they may do a "cut down" to restore blood flow. But otherwise being in the arm they will wait and hope the body will dissolve it on its own. Hopefully the IV fluids will help this process out...
The arm should have enough collateral circulation to compensate enough that there will not be permanent damage.
He must stay in the hospital just incase the clot doesn't dissolve enough and becomes an emboli, in that case emergency treatment is critical.
But, if this were my parent it would be the thing that I would expect to have happen. It's the safer way.
