Thrombolysis |
 | | Mechanical thrombolysis is the disruption of a blood clot using one of several mechanical devices. |
| | Thrombolysis is less invasive than conventional open surgery to remove clots and the hospital stay is relatively brief. |
| | Technically successful thrombolysis requires that the catheter be placed in a stable position near the clot. |
