Mechanical Thrombectomy

A Life-Saving Procedure for Stroke Treatment

Mechanical thrombectomy is a highly effective, minimally invasive procedure used to treat acute ischemic stroke caused by a blood clot blocking a major artery in the brain.

  • During the procedure, a catheter is inserted into the blood vessels through a small incision, typically in the groin area. The clot is then mechanically removed, restoring blood flow to the affected part of the brain and preventing permanent damage.
  • This procedure is performed within a few hours of stroke onset and has been proven to significantly improve outcomes, reduce disability, and increase the chances of a full recovery.

Why Choose Dr. S.R. Choudhary for Mechanical Thrombectomy?

Dr. S.R. Choudhary is a renowned expert in performing mechanical thrombectomy for stroke patients. With his extensive experience in endovascular interventions, he is well-equipped to handle complex stroke cases. Dr. Choudhary uses the latest technology and techniques to quickly and effectively remove clots, restoring brain function and minimizing the risk of long-term disability. His expertise in stroke care ensures the highest chances of recovery for patients suffering from acute ischemic stroke.

Benefits of Mechanical Thrombectomy

  • Minimally Invasive: The procedure is performed through a small incision, leading to less trauma, reduced recovery time, and fewer complications compared to traditional surgery.
  • Rapid Restoration of Blood Flow: Mechanical thrombectomy helps restore blood flow quickly, preventing irreversible brain damage and improving patient outcomes.
  • Improved Recovery Chances: By removing the clot, the procedure significantly enhances the chances of a full recovery and reduces the risk of long-term disability.

How Mechanical Thrombectomy Works

Mechanical thrombectomy is typically performed under local anesthesia. A catheter is inserted into a blood vessel, usually in the groin, and guided to the blocked artery in the brain. Using specialized tools, the clot is either broken up or extracted, allowing blood to flow freely again. The procedure is fast, with optimal results achieved when performed within six hours of the onset of stroke symptoms.

Conclusion

Mechanical thrombectomy, performed by Dr. S.R. Choudhary, is a proven life-saving procedure for treating acute ischemic stroke. By rapidly removing the clot blocking the brain’s blood supply, this minimally invasive treatment significantly improves recovery prospects and reduces the risk of permanent brain damage. For patients experiencing a stroke, mechanical thrombectomy offers a critical opportunity for a better outcome.
