Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Thrombectomy is a surgical procedure performed to remove a blood clot, usually from an artery or vein. It can be done using a catheter or surgical tools to physically remove the clot. Thrombopoiesis is the production of platelets in the bone marrow. Catheterization involves inserting a tube into a body cavity or vessel. Valvotomy is the surgical removal or repair of a heart valve. Venisection is the medical term for bloodletting, which is no longer a common practice for treating blood clots.
