1D-3 mechanisms responsible for ultrasound-accelerated fibrinolysis in the presence and absence of Optison™
Ultrasound at frequencies greater than 1 MHz is known to accelerate clot dissolution by fibrinolytic agents. It is speculated that ultrasound accelerates enzymatic fibrinolysis primarily through non-thermal mechanisms by increasing transport of drug molecules into the clot. To elucidate the mechanis...
