Beyond silence: evolving ultrasound strategies in the battle against cardiovascular thrombotic challenges.

Cardiovascular thrombotic events have long been a perplexing factor in clinical settings, influencing patient prognoses significantly. Ultrasound-mediated acoustic therapy, an innovative thrombolytic treatment method known for its high efficiency, non-invasiveness, safety, and convenience, has demonstrated promising potential for clinical applications and has gradually become a focal point in cardiovascular thrombotic disease research. The current challenge lies in the technical complexities of preparing ultrasound-responsive carriers with thrombus-targeting capabilities and high thrombolytic efficiency. Additionally, optimizing the corresponding acoustic treatment mode is crucial to markedly enhance the thrombolytic effectiveness of ultrasound-mediated acoustic therapy. In light of the current status, this article provides a comprehensive review of the research progress in innovative ultrasound-mediated acoustic therapy for cardiovascular thrombotic diseases. It explores the impact of technical methods, therapeutic mechanisms, and influencing factors on the thrombolytic efficiency and clinical potential of ultrasound-mediated acoustic therapy. The review places particular emphasis on identifying solutions and key considerations in addressing the challenges associated with this cutting-edge therapeutic approach.
