Assessment of histological characteristics, imaging markers, and rt-PA susceptibility of ex vivo venous thrombi

Abstract Venous thromboembolism is a significant source of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Catheter-directed thrombolytics is the primary treatment used to relieve critical obstructions, though its efficacy varies based on the thrombus composition. Non-responsive portions of the specimen often re...
