Thrombosis is a major cause of several diseases, i.e. myocardial infarction, cerebral stroke and pulmonary embolism. Thrombolytic therapies are required to induce fast and efficient recanalization of occluded vessels. To evaluate the in vitro efficacy of these thrombolytic strategies, measuring clot dissolution is essential. This study aimed to evaluate and validate high resolution ultrasound as a tool to assess the exact volume of clots in 3D and in real time during in vitro thrombolytic drug t ...[more]
