Thrombolytics, also known as "clot-busters," are medications used to dissolve blood clots. These drugs are particularly relevant in the context of acute conditions where timely dissolution of a clot can prevent significant morbidity or mortality. In gynecology, thrombolytics can be used to manage conditions like acute venous thromboembolism during pregnancy or postpartum, and occasionally in severe cases of ovarian vein thrombosis.
