Dual-Frequency Ultrasound Assisted Thrombolysis in Interventional Therapy of Deep Vein Thrombosis

© 2023 Wiley‐VCH GmbH..

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is one of the main causes of disability and death worldwide. Currently, the treatment of DVT still needs a long time and faces a high risk of major bleeding. It is necessary to find a rapid and safe method for the therapy of DVT. Here, a dual-frequency ultrasound assisted thrombolysis (DF-UAT) is reported for the interventional treatment of DVT. A series of piezoelectric elements are placed in an interventional catheter to emit ultrasound waves with two independent frequencies in turn. The low-frequency ultrasound drives the drug-loaded droplets into the thrombus, while the high-frequency ultrasound causes the cavitation of the droplets in the thrombus. With the joint effect of the enhanced drug diffusion and the cavitation under the dual-frequency ultrasound, the thrombolytic efficacy can be improved. In a proof-of-concept experiment performed with living sheep, the recanalization of the iliac vein is realized in 15 min using the DF-UAT technology. Therefore, the DF-UAT can be one of the most promising methods in the interventional treatment of DVT.
