Endovascular Thrombectomy

Endovascular thrombectomy is an innovative strategy to open blood vessels blocked with clots in the brain during a stroke, by using a mechanical device introduced via catheter from the groin under radiologic visual control. The technique is especially valuable in patients with a large vessel occlusion, including those with contraindications to thombolysis.
