Inertial cavitation-mediated catheter- based Q-switched Nd: YAG laser therapy in combination with extracorporeal electrohydraulic low- level focused shock wave therapy for thrombolysis of embolic artery
Background and Aims: A plaque may rupture with high risk of subsequent thrombus mediated acute clinical events such as myocardial infarction and stroke. The aim of this study was to generate a rabbit model of carotid artery thromboembolic occlusion and the subsequent investigating the feasibility of catheter- based Q-switched Nd: YAG laser therapy accompanied by simultaneously extracorporeal shock wave therapy in this model.

Photomechanical effect of Q-switched ND:YAG laser enhance thrombolysis using of PLGA- based encapsulated tissue plasminogen activator (TPA) nanoparticles
Aim: Thrombus formation on a disrupted atherosclerotic plaque is a key event that leads to atherothrombosis. Atherothrombosis mediated acute clinical events such as myocardial infarction and stroke. The purpose of this study is to prepare encapsulated tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and evaluate its effectiveness on thrombolysis using laser therapy in the rabbit model of atherothrombotic.
