Noninvasive transcutaneous low frequency ultrasound enhances thrombolysis in peripheral and coronary arteries.
Previous studies have shown that external ultrasound with low frequencies and high intensities can enhance thrombolytic drug-induced clot dissolution during in vitro experiments. In this series of studies, we evaluated the efficacy of peripheral and coronary thrombolysis in vivo in animals by using noninvasive transcutaneous ultrasound combined with thrombolytic drugs (streptokinase and tPA) an...
متن کاملThrombolysis by ultrasound.
1. A new method of destroying thrombi in blood vessels by ultrasound and simultaneously removing them is reported. 2. Experiments were performed in twenty dogs with artificial thrombi in the iliac and femoral arteries and veins. The length of the thrombi ranged from 4 to 5 cm and the age from 12 h to 10 days. The unit used consisted of a generator, a frequency counter, an ultrasonic transducer ...
متن کاملElectronic Staining: Elasticity Imaging of Atheroma with Transcutaneous Ultrasound
This paper describes a noninvasive method for evaluating regional elasticity in atheroma in which a novel method is applied to measure minute changes in thickness of each of the multiple layers of the arterial wall during one heartbeat. By comparing the pathological findings with the elasticity distribution, statistic parameters for lipid and a mixture of smooth muscle and collagen fiber can be...
متن کاملElasticity imaging of atheroma with transcutaneous ultrasound: preliminary study.
BACKGROUND Knowledge of the physical properties of atherosclerotic plaque is essential when evaluating its vulnerability in a clinical setting. Such knowledge, however, is still difficult to obtain with the various approaches developed to date. METHODS AND RESULTS This article describes a noninvasive method for evaluating the regional elasticity (the elastic modulus in the circumferential dir...
متن کاملClinical diagnosis by transcutaneous Doppler ultrasound.
Introduction The past few years have seen a vast proliferation in the use of ultrasound to diagnose circulatory disorders. This increasing interest reflects the fact that many tests are non-invasive, reliable, provide bedside answers and do not require large investment of equipment or personnel. Ultrasound systems have been used clinically in two ways. Firstly, ultrasound can provide an anatomi...
