John Graham, DVT Patient

My Experience with DVT - John Graham

When Texas resident John Graham left the hospital after his knee surgery last year, he thought his medical problems were resolved. However, shortly after his return home, John began experiencing pain and swelling in his leg.

Doctors told John he had deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a potentially deadly blood clot in his leg that was blocking blood flow.

Air travelers, marathon runners, women who recently gave birth or are on hormone replacement or birth control pills, people who experience physical trauma or who recently had surgery are all among those at risk for DVT.

For more than six months, John took blood-thinning medication, but his symptoms remained.

He decided to research treatment options for DVT, and learned about a new procedure that restores blood flow and resolves symptoms within minutes using mechanical thrombectomy with water jet technology.

Using mechanical thrombectomy and clot-busting medications, doctors removed John’s clot in a matter of hours. Following a short hospital stay, he was back at home.
