What is Mechanical Thrombectomy (Stroke Treatment)?

Mechanical thrombectomy is a minimally invasive emergency procedure used to remove a blood clot from a brain artery in patients with acute ischemic stroke. A micro-catheter is guided through blood vessels to the brain to restore blood flow quickly.

Here are some common procedures

  • Emergency brain imaging (CT/MRI)
  • Blood tests and vital assessment
  • Fasting if time permits
  • Consent from patient or relatives

  • Stroke severity and eligibility assessment
  • CT angiography to locate clot
  • Blood pressure and glucose stabilization

  • ICU or stroke unit monitoring
  • Repeat imaging if required
  • Early physiotherapy and rehabilitation

  • Rapid restoration of blood flow
  • Reduces brain damage and disability
  • Life-saving in selected patients
  • Faster recovery compared to medical therapy alone
