Thrombus perviousness
Thrombus Perviousness
Thrombus perviousness (pronunciation: /ˈθrɒmbəs pərˈviːəsnəs/) is a medical term that refers to the degree to which a thrombus (blood clot) allows the passage of substances through it.
Etymology
The term is derived from the Greek word 'thrombos' meaning a lump or clot, and the Latin word 'pervious' meaning passable or penetrable.
Definition
Thrombus perviousness is a measure of the permeability of a thrombus. It is an important factor in the treatment of thrombosis, as a more pervious thrombus may allow for more effective delivery of thrombolytic agents.
