My Husband Has A Blot Clot In The Large Saphenous

My husband has a blot clot in the Large Saphenous vein, less than 1 cm away from the femoral vein junction. He is currently on Xarelto, and the vascular surgeon gave him the option to stay on that or have surgery to cap off that vein. What are risks and benefits and what would you recommend?
