Enhanced thrombolysis by endovascular low-frequency ultrasound with bifunctional microbubbles in venous thrombosis: in vitro and in vivo study

Abstract: There is a need to improve the efficacy and safety of endovascular techniques in venous thrombotic diseases, and microbubble enhanced sonothrombolysis is a promising approach. However, whether endovascular low-frequency ultrasound (LFUS) can be utilized in microbubble enhanced sonothrombolysis is unclear. Here, we present a catheter-based thrombolytic system that combines unfocused low-frequency low-intensity ultrasound with novel fibrin-targeted drug-loaded bifunctional microbubbles. We develop an in vitro fl… Show more

“…Previous studies have primarily focused on the role of acoustic parameters and microbubble properties in this process. 10,[14][15][16][17][18][19] However, limited studies have investigated the impact of microbubble perfusion mode on CDT. Therefore, this study evaluated the thrombolytic effect of two types of microbubble perfusion modes (continuous injection versus bolus injection) in vitro.…”

“…Ultrasound combined with microbubbles has the potential to enhance the effectiveness of CDT and reduce the risk of treatment‐related bleeding. Previous studies have primarily focused on the role of acoustic parameters and microbubble properties in this process 10,14–19 . However, limited studies have investigated the impact of microbubble perfusion mode on CDT.…”
