Normalized clot width as a function of time for each treatment. All clots were treated in human fresh frozen plasma. A clot fraction over 100% indicates clot swelling and consequent increase in diameter. Clot swelling was observed early during treatment for clots treated with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) alone. Clots treated with rt-PA, Definity®, and the 33.3% pulsed scheme showed minor clot swelling in the first few minutes. Each line is the mean of 16 measurements with the standard deviation given by the error bars.
