Abstract
A method and system for facilitating thrombolytic therapy includes a perfusion tube, in the form of an infusion guidewire or catheter, for delivering a lytic agent at a thrombosis. The perfusion tube includes, as an integral part thereof, at its distal end a sensor that connects to monitoring and announcing circuit. The monitoring and announcing circuit may include local and remote audio and visual announcing mechanisms for indicating the existence of blood flow above a predetermined minimum flow rate thereby to indicate lysis.
