Abstract
The purpose of the EKOS EndoWave Infusion Catheter System is to enhance catheter-directed thrombolysis by accelerating the fibrinolytic process with the application of ultrasound. Improving the efficiency of the thrombolytic process reduces the treatment time and total lytic dose delivered, thereby lowering the overall cost of therapy and the risk of an associated bleeding complication.Entities:
