In vitro study of thrombolytic resistance in ischemic stroke
Hložánková, Anna ; Raptová, Petra (referee) ; Víteček, Jan (advisor)
Ischemic stroke is one of the most common causes of mortality and permanent disability worldwide. The most frequently used therapeutic approach in stroke treatment is enzymatic thrombolysis using recombinant tissue plasminogen activator – alteplase. Although alteplase is currently the only clinically approved thrombolytic for the treatment of ischemic stroke, its efficacy is limited. These limitations can be caused by several factors, including the structure and mechanical properties of the clot. The theoretical part of this bachelor thesis is focused on ischemic stroke, its enzymatic therapy, and on the study of factors affecting thrombolytic efficacy. The practical part deals with in vitro preparation of structurally variable clots and the characterization of the effect of their structure on the efficacy of thrombolytic agents and the mechanical properties of clots.
