6. Venous thrombosis - Wikipedia

   Deep vein thrombosis may require thrombolysis if there is a significant risk of post-thrombotic syndrome. [42] Thrombolysis may be administered by intravenous catheter directly into the clot ("catheter-directed thrombolysis"); this requires a lower dose of the medication and may carry a lower bleeding risk but evidence for its benefit is limited.

7. Anticoagulant - Wikipedia
