Stroke Thrombectomy: Removing the Clot, Restoring the Brain
An ischemic stroke occurs when a blood clot blocks an artery supplying the brain. Stroke thrombectomy is a minimally invasive procedure used to physically remove this clot.
Using a thin catheter inserted through the groin or wrist, the specialist navigates to the blocked brain vessel and removes the clot. When performed within the critical time window, thrombectomy can restore blood flow, limit brain damage, and dramatically improve recovery, even in severe strokes.
