Intravascular forward-looking ultrasound transducers for microbubble-mediated sonothrombolysis

Abstract Effective removal or dissolution of large blood clots remains a challenge in clinical treatment of acute thrombo-occlusive diseases. Here we report the development of an intravascular microbubble-mediated sonothrombolysis device for improving thrombolytic rate and thus minimizing the requir...
