Rapid thrombolysis is very important to reduce complications caused by vascular blockage. A promising approach for improving thrombolysis efficiency is utilizing the permanent magnetically actuated locomotion of nanorobots. However, the thrombolytic drug transportation efficiency is challenged by in-plane rotating locomotion and the insufficient drug penetration limits further improvement of thrombolysis.

Background And Objective: Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the lower limbs is a critical global vascular disease. Accurately assessing and predicting the efficacy of DVT treatment remains a significant challenge due to a lack of understanding of the mechanisms by which the level of patient-specific embolization and the rate of drug injection affect thrombolytic therapy.
Methods: In this study, we used the computed tomographic venography (CTV) clinical method to obtain patient-specific parameters, and the flow-solid interaction (FSI) method combined with biochemical response modeling of thrombolysis to analyze patient-specific hemodynamic and biomechanical characteristics and to quantitatively assess the effects of three vessel embolism levels (VEL) versus two drug injection rates (DIR) on bifurcated femoral venous thrombolytic therapy.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Delayed tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) thrombolysis, which has a restrictive therapeutic time window within 4.5 h following ischemic stroke (IS), increases the risk of hemorrhagic transformation (HT) and subsequent neurotoxicity. Studies have shown that the NLRP3 inflammasome activation reversely regulated by the PGC-1α leads to microglial polarization and pyroptosis to cause damage to nerve cells and the blood-brain barrier.

Background: Complete clot ingestion (CCI) is defined as full ingestion of the clot into the catheter or pump canister without any external clot remnants at the catheter tip. The aim of this study was to demonstrate that using the CCI metric in vitro, partially ingested ('corked') clots pose a higher risk of distal emboli given distal emboli may exist in the setting of Thrombolysis In Cerebral Infarction 3 (TICI 3) revascularization.
Methods: Thrombectomies using an in vitro synthetic clot analog were conducted across six catheters using the novel ALGO Smart Pump with Adaptive Pulsatile Aspiration (APA) (Von Vascular Inc, Sunrise, FL) and compared against the Penumbra static Engine Pump (Alameda, CA).
