Clot busters

Thrombolytics (clot busters) Dissolve blood clots. 

Drugs to Remove a Pathogenic Thrombus or Embolus "Clot Busters"... 

Treatment requires a clot buster to remove the fibrin clot. Because plasminogen circulates in the blood in relatively large amounts, a common procedure is to give intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) to speed its conversion to plasmin (Fig. 11.10). Thus, intravenous tPA is the best therapy for acute symptoms of clot development. Because the half-life of infused tPA in blood plasma is only 4-5 min, it should be continuously infused for about an hour to dissolve enough clot to limit a potential ischemia. Recombinant human tPA is preferred to animal tPA because it is the natural protein and can be safely injected... 

Thrombolytics. Thrombolytics are sometimes called clot busters because they attack and dissolve blood clots that have already formed.
