Mechanical clot removal may be effective and lead to better outcomes for stroke patients

Stroke patients previously considered unlikely to survive without severe disability may regain far more function if the blood clots (which cause an ischemic stroke) are mechanically removed in addition to standard medical therapy, according to preliminary late-breaking research presented today at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference 2022, a world premier meeting for researchers and clinicians dedicated to the science of stroke and brain health, held in person in New Orleans and virtually, Feb. 9-11, 2022.
