Since Lynn and colleagues first described the use of focused ultrasound (FUS) waves for
intracranial ablation in 1942, many strides have been made toward the treatment of several …

Ischemic stroke (IS) is a severe neurological disease caused by the narrowing or occlusion
of cerebral blood vessels and is known for high morbidity, disability, and mortality rates …

Abstract Microbubbles are typically 0.5–10 μm in size. Their size tends to make it easier for
medication delivery mechanisms to navigate the body by allowing them to be swallowed …

High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) based thrombolysis has emerged as a promising
drug-free treatment approach for ischemic stroke. The large amount of acoustic power …

Previous work revealed that a forward-viewing intravascular (FVI) transducer can be used
for microbubble (MB)-mediated sonothrombolysis and that the clot lysis was dependent on …

Objective: There is uncertainty about deep vein thrombosis standard treatment as thrombus
stiffness alters each case. Here, we investigated thrombus' stiffness of different compositions …

Purpose The combination of laser and ultrasound can significantly improve the efficiency of
thrombolysis through an enhanced cavitation effect. We developed a fiber optics‐based …

Stroke, either ischemic or hemorrhagic, accounts for significantly high morbidity and
mortality rates around the globe effecting millions of lives annually. For the past few …

Purpose This study aimed to test the feasibility of combined ultrasound and laser technique,
namely, ultrasound‐assisted endovascular laser thrombolysis (USELT), for thrombolysis by …

Photo-mediated ultrasound therapy (PUT) is a novel therapeutic technique based on the
combination of ultrasound and laser. The underlying mechanism of PUT is the enhanced …
