Hi
If you have no time to wait for blood thinners to work then you can ask your doctor to preform a Catheter-Directed Thrombolysis if this does not work then your only option will be surgical removal

Good Luck

Actually If I were your doctor, I would choose surgical treatment..then work on the main cause of your problem..for example lose extra weight drink plenty of water..take your blood thinners and any other cause your doctor believe from your history is causing it..

hi
if the pain is acute and if the clot is big enough then catheter assisted thrombectomy followed by blood thinners would be a good option.
You can get a recent doppler study done to see the extent of the clot.
Thanks
