Abstract

Catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) is the widely utilized treatment for patients with acute occlusion of lower extremity arteries and bypass grafts. The success and dose of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) required is influenced by age of thrombus, which is primarily assessed by clinical parameters. The aim of this study is to investigate the potential role of utilizing quantitative texture analyses in determining the age of thrombus in relation to patients’ clinical profiles, further predicting the dose of required thrombolytic agent.
