Thrombectomy is the process of physically removing or breaking up blood clots. This step is normally done as a last option, if use of clot-dissolving drugs or other treatments is not an option or has been unsuccessful. Traditionally, specialists have performed thrombectomy only as an open surgical procedure.

Answer:
During a surgical thrombectomy, a surgeon makes an incision into a blood vessel. The clot is removed, and the blood vessel is repaired. This restores blood flow. In some cases, a balloon or other device may be put in the blood vessel to help keep it open.
