The use of drugs to break up a blood clot
A technique in which drugs are used to dissolve blood clots.

The dissolution of blood clots.
The action of pharmacologic lysis of a coronary artery occlusion. Occlusions are thrombi composed of platelets, fibrin, erythrocytes, and leukocytes and are usually superimposed on or adjacent to atherosclerotic plaques. The pharmacologic agents used are streptokinase and tissue-plasminogen activator, in combination with other adjunctive therapy, such as heparin and aspirin.
