Thrombolytic agents, also known as fibrinolytic agents, are a therapeutic class of medications designed to rapidly dissolve pathological intravascular blood clots.
They function primarily as plasminogen activators that convert the inactive proenzyme plasminogen into plasmin, an active enzyme that degrades the fibrin meshwork stabilizing a thrombus.
This class is utilized in acute, time-critical cardiovascular and thromboembolic emergencies to restore vascular perfusion and limit tissue necrosis.
Primary clinical indications include acute ischemic stroke, ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), and hemodynamically unstable pulmonary embolism.
