  • Electrical stimulation and thrombolytic therapy
    Publication number: 20040039417
    Abstract: This invention is an electrical stimulation apparatus for delivering an electrical field or electrical current over a predetermined period of time to a vascular tissue (150) in order to stimulate a cell initiated thrombolytic peptide response in cells within the vascular tissue. The electrical stimulation apparatus includes an electrical field or electrical current generating unit including a power support, a control mechanism interconnected with the power supply, and a plurality of electrodes designed to generate an electrical field or electrical current proximal to, or within to the vascular tissue. The amplitude of the electrical field or electrical current delivered to or generated proximal to, or within the vascular tissue, and the duration of the period of delivery are sufficient to stimulate production of thrombolytic peptides in the vascular tissue.
