Thrombolysis

Thrombolysis is a medical treatment that breaks down blood clots that can block blood flow, which is crucial for healing and function in the body. In the context of hemostasis, which is the process that prevents bleeding, a clot forms to seal wounds. However, if a clot is too large or forms inappropriately, it can lead to problems like heart attacks or strokes. Thrombolysis uses medications or other methods to dissolve these harmful clots, restoring normal blood flow and helping to prevent damage to tissues and organs.
