Assignee: NORTH CAROLINA STATE UNIVERSITY
Field: Pharmaceuticals (Chemistry)
Classification: CPC A  B | IPC A  B

Claim 1:
2. The system of claim 1, wherein the system is a sonothrombolysis system and the ultrasound transducer and the rotational magnetic field generator are adapted for placement near a target clot region of a patient, and further comprising a catheter configured for in vivo intravascular delivery of the MMBs to the target clot region of the patient, wherein the rotational magnetic field generator is effective to accumulate the MMBs in the target clot region and increase cavitation of the MMBs induced by the ultrasound transducer, such that cavitating MMBs are effective to induce partial or complete thrombolysis of a blood clot in the target clot region.
