Thrombus is a blood clot that forms in a vessel and remains there, which can block the flow of blood in that location depriving tissues of normal blood flow and oxygen. To dissolve these blood clots, a procedure called thrombolysis is used. Thrombolytic drugs are prescribed and generally given in combination with anticoagulant drugs.
