Right place, right doctor, right device

C
harles “Roger” Anderson, 77, likes to keep
active and tries to take a long walk in his
neighborhood every day. But in January
of 2012, the usually mobile St. John man
was stopped in his tracks with severe pain in his left
leg, which had become red and swollen, and difficulty breathing.
His wife, Judy, knew he was in trouble as she recognized the signs of deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
After DVT
She made sure he went straight to the hospital—
Community Hospital in Munster—where he met with
Arvind Gandhi, M.D., interventional cardiologist.
“Mr. Anderson came in with several blood clots,
or DVT, that were completely collapsing the vein in
his thigh,” Gandhi says. “After anticoagulant therapy
was administered, we declotted Mr. Anderson’s leg
with a procedure called a thrombectomy to remove
the blood clots that had formed in the femoral vein
St. John resident Charles
“Roger” Anderson is happy
to be back on his feet after a
minimally invasive treatment
to remove blood clots that
developed in veins deep in
his body.
