Researchers at North Carolina State University, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and the University of Michigan have developed a new technique for eliminating particularly tough blood clots by using engineered nanodroplets and an ultrasound "drill" to break up the clots from the inside out. The technique has not yet gone through clinical testing, but in vitro testing has shown promising results.
