Abstract
A study was made to determine whether changes in perfusion pressure in an in-vitro model could affect the time to thrombolysis. Fresh blood was obtained from six normal healthy volunteers lacking any drug treatment. Thrombi were then subjected to one of four groups. Recanalization time was calculated as the time interval elapsed from the moment administration to flow restoration. The data from the study suggests that(1) the hemodynamic factors determine the efficacy of streptokinase induced thrombolysis, and (2) spontaneous clot lysis is more likely to occur at higher perfusion pressure.
