author keywords: Ultrasonic imaging; Acoustics; Medical treatment; Frequency control; Coagulation; Transducers; Surface treatment; Cavitation; microbubble (MB); nanodroplet (ND); retracted clot; sonothrombolysis; thrombosis
MeSH headings : Aged; Blood Coagulation; Humans; Microbubbles; Thrombosis / diagnostic imaging; Thrombosis / therapy; Ultrasonic Therapy / methods
TL;DR: It is concluded that ND-mediated sonothrombolysis outperforms MB-mediated therapy regardless of clot retraction, and this advantage of ND- mediated cavitation is emphasized for retracted clots. (via Semantic Scholar)

author keywords: Transducers; Acoustics; Ultrasonic imaging; Frequency measurement; Frequency control; Impedance; Broadband communication; Dual-frequency thrombolysis; intravascular ultrasound transducer; passive cavitation; sonothrombolysis
MeSH headings : Acoustics; Contrast Media; Microbubbles; Transducers; Ultrasonic Therapy
TL;DR: A new broadband intravascular transducer is developed and tests indicated that the MB-mediated, dual-frequency (750+500 kHz) sonothrombolysis yields an 85% higher lysis rate compared with the single-frequency treatment, and the lysis Rate increases with the difference between the two frequency components.

Nanodroplet-mediated catheter-directed sonothrombolysis of retracted blood clots

MICROSYSTEMS & NANOENGINEERING, 7(1).

By: L. Goel n, H. Wu n, B. Zhang n , J. Kim n, P. Dayton n, Z. Xu *, X. Jiang n

Contributors: L. Goel n, H. Wu n, B. Zhang n , J. Kim n, P. Dayton n, Z. Xu *, X. Jiang n

TL;DR: For the first time, it is demonstrated that a sub-megahertz, forward-viewing intravascular (FVI) transducer can be used for ND-mediated sonothrombolysis, in vitro and combined nanodroplet with tPA-mediatedSonothromBolysis was able to significantly enhance retracted clot lysis in retracted blood clots.

ULTRASOUND IN MEDICINE AND BIOLOGY, 47(11), 3231–3239.

By: L. Goel n, H. Wu n, B. Zhang n , J. Kim n, P. Dayton n, Z. Xu *, X. Jiang n

Contributors: L. Goel n, H. Wu n, B. Zhang n , J. Kim n, P. Dayton n, Z. Xu *, X. Jiang n

author keywords: Intravascular sonothrombolysis; Safety; Retracted clots; Nanodroplets; Microbubbles; Ultrasound-assisted thrombolysis; Tissue plasminogen activator
MeSH headings : Animals; Microbubbles; Particle Size; Thrombolytic Therapy; Thrombosis / therapy; Tissue Plasminogen Activator; Transducers; Ultrasonic Therapy
TL;DR: In vitro and ex vivo tests using FVI transducers revealed a temperature rise of less than 1°C, no vessel damage as assessed by histology and no downstream clot particles >500 µm, which indicates that the F VI transducer poses minimal risk for sonothrombolysis applications and should be further evaluated in animal models.
