This is dependent entirely on how large the clot is, where it is at, how the person's blood chemistry is, and so on. The short answer is- each situation is entirely unique and assessed on an individual basis.

Generally you will take a medicine called Coumadin (warfarin) that will "thin" the blood, that is, take the blood longer to clot and avoid an additional blood clot from forming. This and the tincture of time, that is, the body's ability to dissolve the blood clot thru its normal processes will rid you of the clot by dissolving it thru a complex process of special cells that circulate thru the blood. Next step is avoiding another blood clot. This is based on how the original clot formed, there are several ways this could have happened.
