Intravenous thrombolysis

Intravenous thrombolysis is a medical treatment used to dissolve blood clots that block blood flow, often in cases like a stroke. A special medication, called a clot-busting drug, is injected into a vein, typically within a few hours of symptom onset. This medication works by breaking apart the clot, helping restore normal blood flow to the affected area, which can minimize tissue damage and improve recovery chances. It’s a time-sensitive procedure that requires careful medical assessment to ensure safety and effectiveness.
