Good thought; certainly there is a lot that can be improved with field cryonics and relatively little thought is given to this very important problem. (I suspect no small amount of magical thinking even among cryonicists).

Note the risk though; tPA (a fast-acting anticoagulant) is routinely given for stroke patients but it has a significant risk of causing hemorrhagic stroke, especially in old people.
