Bubbles in the brain sounds a little sketchy….

And that will be 300k thank you, oh yeah clots gone, but damage eh, that may stay. Only time to intervention saves brain function.

If could be externally applied I'd be more excited. Like a hat or tub of liquid you put your head in.

What's the problem with a regular drill?

3 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 1

There are devices that you may call a "regular" drill. Look up "rotablation." It uses a diamond-tipped burr that spins 180K/min.

Theoretically usable in any vascular bed, including cerebral, coronary, and peripheral. Problem is, break up clot --> debris --> more damage

I wonder if its possible to use something like lithotripsy but for blood clots, since it would then be a non-invasive procedure.

3 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

That's a good question. Lithotripsy works by fragmenting material using shockwaves. To be susceptible, the target must be 1/

3 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

rigid and brittle. Clots are usually of gelatinous consistency, so they'll just jiggle and won't be destroyed by shockwaves.

3 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Shockwave lithotripsy is used for arterial plaque that has been long enough to calcify & harden. It doesn't work on clots; they're too soft.

As someone who's experienced insane clots (and no identifying factors) these discoveries are exciting but terrifying, for reasons you stated

3 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

This. Veins and arteries aren't a uniform thickness, unless the clot is immediately destroyed, pieces will travel.

This tech has been under trial for a few years now, if I remember correctly. I remember a cardiac trial back around 2017.

I cannot imagine that the particles would be any larger than those produced by the Rotablater during coronary revascularization.

3 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

The rotablater does cause distal embolization. It's a risk that must be weighed against the possible benefits.

3 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Load em up with brillinta, should be fine.

3 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

The particles produced by the Rotablater burr are typically smaller than RBC’s. Further it would be important to weigh the risks.

3 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Can't compare thrombus subject to ultrasound against calcium subject to rotablator. Different substances behave differently.

3 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Until there's demonstrable safety in comparison to the current standard, it's experimental at best.

If the clots is broken up to small enough pieces, doesn't this not matter as much?

100%. My company makes some of these suction devices. Mechanically breaking up clots is necessary sometimes but it’s NOT desirable.

So the best option is clot busting drugs?
