In the present study, we investigated the capabilities of a novel ultrasonic approach for real-time control of fibrinolysis under flow conditions. Ultrasonic monitoring was performed in a specially designed experimental in vitro system. Fibrinolytic agents were automatically injected at ultrasonically determined stages of the blood clotting. The following clots dissolution in the system was investigated by means of ultrasonic monitoring. It was shown, that clots resistance to fibrinolysis significantly increases during the first 5 minutes since the formation of primary micro-clots. The efficiency of clot lysis strongly depends on the concentration of the fibrinolytic agent as well as the delay of its injection moment. The ultrasonic method was able to detect the coagulation at early stages, when timely pharmacological intervention can still prevent the formation of macroscopic clots in the experimental system. This result serves as evidence that ultrasonic methods may provide new opportunities for real-time monitoring and the early pharmacological correction of thrombotic complications in clinical practice.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
