What is Thrombolytic Therapy?

Thrombolytic treatment, also known as fibrinolytic therapy, dissolves dangerous intravascular clots to prevent ischemic damage by improving blood flow. Thrombosis is a significant physiological response that limits hemorrhage caused by large or tiny vascular injury.

What Is Thrombolytic Therapy? Thrombolytic therapy can include the use of medications to destroy blood clots or prevent new blood clots from forming. It's also called fibrinolytic therapy. Some of these clot-busting drugs are taken by mouth.

How is it treated?

Treatment for acute myeloid leukemia is vital. It varies with the patient and stage of the disease. Treatment options include

Thrombolysis is a procedure used to break up abnormal blood clots that restrict blood flow in veins and arteries. We use two types of thrombolysis. For chemical thrombolysis we inject a medication, such as tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) or urokinase, through a catheter to dissolve the clot.
