Portal vein thrombosis

Question

Asked for Male, 21 Years

My mother had gone through a sleeve gastrectomy operation 3 weeks ago. On the 22nd post-operative day, due to severe pain in the epigastric zone, her doctor ordered an abdominal CT and it turned out that portal vein and superior mesenteric vein were thrombosed. They put her on enoxaparin and wanted her to rest for 5 days until the next control. I read somewhere that enoxaparin only prevents further occlusion of the vein and does not lyse existing clot. Should we consider thrombectomy A.S.A.P?

Enoxaparin is used to prevent and treat harmful blood clots. This helps to reduce the risk of a stroke or heart attack. This medication helps keep your blood flowing smoothly by lowering the activity of clotting proteins in the blood. Enoxaparin is an anticoagulant, also known as a "blood thinner." Since she's admitted and under observation, the necessary intervention will be taken based on her condition.
