Thrombolitic agents are drugs that are injected into an artery to dissolve a blood clot. They are typically used in situations where a blood clot has significantly blocked blood flow and may potentially cause serious harm (such as a heart attack) if not removed soon. Thrombolytic therapy can dirupt the body's natural rhythm and for that reason is only used in potentially life threatening situations.
