ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to inhibition of blood clot formation in a first segment of a blood vessel. Inhibition is effected in the first segment by exposing a second segment of the blood vessel to ultrasound. The second segment either contains the upstream region of the first segment or is upstream from this upstream region. A method for preventing a clot-induced event in a patient is also provided.
