Abstract:ObjectiveThe consequences associated with blood clots are numerous and are responsible for many deaths worldwide. The assessment of treatment efficacy is necessary for patient follow‐up and to detect treatment‐resistant patients. The aim of this study was to characterize the effect of treatment on blood clots in vitro using quantitative ultrasound parameters.MethodsBlood from 10 pigs was collected to form three clots per pig in gelatin phantoms. Clots were subjected to 1) no treatment, 2) rt‐PA (recombinant ti… Show more
