Dr. Sun Shaolong
After detachment of a femoral venous thrombus causing embolism, it is essential first to ensure the patient's airway remains patent. Treatment should be prescribed according to the patient's clinical condition, including administration of thrombolytic agents such as intravenous urokinase. Anticoagulant therapy should also be administered alongside thrombolytic treatment. Strict adherence to medical instructions is required during treatment, and the patient's coagulation function must be closely monitored to prevent bleeding complications.
