Also known as: chemical thrombolysis, mechanical thrombolysis.
Thrombolysis is a treatment that can break up blood clots lodged in veins. Doing so can prevent the clots from potentially causing heart attacks or strokes later on.
There are different forms of thrombolysis.

Infection, bleeding, and damage to surrounding organs and tissues are potential risks of thrombolysis.
