Arterial thrombolysis is a medical procedure used to treat blood clots that are obstructing the arteries. The procedure involves administering clot-dissolving medications (thrombolytics) directly into the affected artery to break down the clot and restore blood flow. Thrombolysis is often used to treat conditions such as acute limb ischemia, myocardial infarction (heart attack), or pulmonary embolism.
This procedure helps prevent tissue damage, restore organ function, and improve overall circulation, providing a less invasive alternative to surgical clot removal.
