BACKGROUND
Ultrasound accelerates tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA)-induced fibrinolysis of clots in vitro and in vivo.
OBJECTIVE
To identify mechanisms for the enhancement of t-PA-induced fibrinolysis of clots.
METHODS
Turbidity is an accurate and convenient method, not previously used, to follow the effects of ultrasound. Deconvolution microscopy was used to determine changes in st...
