I'm a 19 y.o female and was diagnosed with a 10cm long blood clot in my upper right arm, and multiple pulmonary embolisms in both lungs in October of last year.
After 6 months of Warfarin treatment, maintaing my INR between 2-3, I was told my clots have not dissolved the way they should have. A CT scan showed that my first rib and clavicle obstruct the artery in my arm where the clot is, every time i put my arm at a 90 degree angle or higher. My hematologist has discounted rib removal surgery because of the pain, risks, recovery time etc. I wanted to know if anyone has had this surgery because of this problem (my specialist said she's never heard of anyone having the surgery done, to fix this problem) Thanks! |
