Krai Hospital Pioneers Targeted Ultrasound Blood Clot Dissolution
A groundbreaking new method for dissolving blood clots has been successfully employed at Krai Clinical Hospital named after S.I. Sergeev. This ultrasound-based technology, performed by specialized vascular surgeons or interventional radiologists, offers a targeted approach to treating dangerous clots in blood vessels.
Previously, the standard treatment was systemic thrombolysis, which involved injecting a clot-dissolving drug into the entire bloodstream. This new method, however, allows for local dissolution of clots using ultrasound. This targeted approach can be particularly beneficial in treating severe venous thrombosis, arterial stenosis with clots, and preventing stroke or limb loss in advanced vascular diseases.
The procedure has already been used to treat pulmonary artery thromboembolism, thromboses, and arterial and venous thromboembolism with promising results. Specialized centers and experts in these interventions can apply this expertise to future treatments, offering hope to patients with life-threatening complications that do not respond to standard anticoagulation.
The successful use of this new ultrasound-based technology at Krai Clinical Hospital marks a significant advancement in blood clot treatment. This targeted approach could potentially reduce side effects and improve outcomes for patients with severe vascular diseases. Further research and application of this method are expected to provide more insights into its benefits and potential wider use.
