Custom-built clot carrier. Detailed explanations are given in the text. (1) tube system, (2) direction of streaming blood substitute, (3) cavity for the clot, (4) gauze, (5) gap for ultrasound application, (6) tubes for thrombolytic supply, (7) channels reducing the hydrodynamic resistance of the carrier, (8) channels connected with the clot cavity by small holes (9) providing an decreased hydrodynamic resistance when the clot is getting smaller. White arrows A - D: Successively increased flow rate during clot dissolution.
