Abstract
Methods are presented for the dissolution of a thrombus which occludes a blood vessel. The methods utilize the vasodilation effect produced by irradiating a blood vessel with UV laser light. The laser-induced vasodilation leads to stretching of the occluding thrombus, which becomes infiltrated with blood and quickly dissolves without the emission of emboli. Some of the methods involve combination of UV laser irradiation with thrombolytic agents, dethrombosing agents, or antiplatelet agents to enhance their effectiveness and reduce side effects.
