Ultrasound has been shown to increase recombinant tissue plasminogen activator thrombolysis through stable cavitation, or sustained bubble activity, but this mechanism needs further optimization. Use of low-frequency ultrasound in combination with microbubbles stabilized against dissolution, in the form of ultrasound contrast agents, has resulted in greater lytic efficacy in vitro. Summary of Review-This article reviews the motivation for developing ultrasound-enhanced thrombolysis and the existing evidence for its potential as an intervention for ischemic stroke. Stable cavitation is discussed and current in vitro and ex vivo studies of bubble-mediated recombinant tissue plasminogen activator clot lysis are summarized.
Ultrasound-driven stable cavitation nucleated by an infusion of an echo contrast agent facilitates recombinant tissue plasminogen activator thrombolysis. Optimization of this gently effervescent phenomenon has the potential to reduce the morbidity and mortality of victims of ischemic stroke.
超声通过稳定空化或持续的气泡活动,已被证明可以增加重组组织型纤溶酶原激活剂溶栓效果,但这种机制需要进一步优化。低频超声与微泡联合使用,以超声对比剂的形式稳定,可在体外获得更大的溶解效果。综述总结-本文综述了开发超声增强溶栓的动机,以及其作为缺血性脑卒中干预手段的潜在价值。讨论了稳定空化,并总结了目前关于气泡介导的重组组织型纤溶酶原激活剂血栓溶解的体外和离体研究。结论:输注超声造影剂引发的超声驱动稳定空化有助于重组组织型纤溶酶原激活剂溶栓。这种温和的沸腾现象的优化有可能降低缺血性脑卒中患者的发病率和死亡率。
