Purpose: The hypothesis of this study was histotripsy, an ultrasound therapy that disrupts tissue mechanically through the action of bubble clouds, increases the short-term rate of acute thrombus clearance for catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) in an animal model.
Materials And Methods: Thrombi formed in the femoral vein of pigs were treated with CDT, histotripsy, or CDT and histotripsy (histotripsy+). Ultrasound (B-mode and color Doppler) and contrast fluoroscopy imaging data were scored by four observers for semi-quantitative evaluation of each arm with ordinal regression models.
