ultrasound-guided thrombolysis

Ultrasound-guided thrombolysis is a medical procedure used to dissolve blood clots more effectively. It involves using ultrasound imaging to precisely locate the clot within a blood vessel. A thin catheter is inserted into the clot area, and medications called thrombolytics are delivered directly to break down the clot. The ultrasound helps guide and monitor the process, ensuring accurate placement and enhancing the treatment's effectiveness. This approach can reduce the time needed to dissolve clots, potentially lowering risks like tissue damage or further blockages.
