Hello, my name is Lauri Stanger and I have FVL, (Factor V Leiden), I found out that I have this in August of this year. I have a previous history of blood clots and did not know that I have FVL, . My first blood clot occurred when I was about 25 years old. I am now 48 years old. I guess you can say I am pretty lucky for not getting another till this year, anyway that I know of, the doctor did tell me that the clot I have in my leg has been there for quit some time. I am now taking warfarin and will be taking this the rest of my life. I have a question that I was hoping you might help me with., my doctor suggests I have a procedure that is called a thrombectomy. I would think that this would be a risk since I have FVL and a history of clots. Is there anything you can tell me about this? Thanks, Lauri Stanger
