The account alleges that during a post mechanochemical ablation (moca) procedure the patient acquired deep vein thrombosis [dvt].The ablation catheter was used to deliver approximately 10cc of 2% asclera into the patient's great saphenous vein [gsv].Approximately 60cm of the gsv had been successfully treated during the procedure.During a follow up visit on (b)(6) 2019, the physician states that the patient's dvt may or may not have been related to the patient's original gsv ablation procedure that completed on (b)(6) 2019.Due to the development of dvt, the follow up ablation procedure was cancelled, and the patient was started on anticoagulants.
