Mechanical Thrombectomy for Stroke: Life-Saving Treatment Explained | Dr. Kaushik Sundar

Mechanical Thrombectomy is a groundbreaking treatment for patients suffering from acute stroke, a medical emergency that occurs when the blood supply to the brain is disrupted, causing damage to brain cells and tissues. During an acute stroke, timely intervention is crucial to prevent permanent damage. One of the most effective treatments for stroke caused by blood clots is mechanical thrombectomy.

Mechanical thrombectomy involves a surgical procedure to remove blood clots from the brain’s arteries or veins, restoring blood flow and significantly improving the chances of recovery. This advanced procedure is performed by trained specialists in interventional neurology and can drastically reduce the long-term effects of stroke, offering hope for patients who may have otherwise experienced severe disability.

Dr. Kaushik Sundar, Consultant - Interventional Neurology at RN Tagore Hospital, Kolkata, provides an in-depth explanation of how mechanical thrombectomy works, the procedure involved, and its life-saving potential for stroke patients.

Stroke treatment must be prompt and effective, and mechanical thrombectomy represents a crucial advancement in stroke care. For individuals experiencing an acute stroke, it is essential to act quickly. Knowing the symptoms of stroke, such as trouble walking, speaking, and sudden numbness in the face, arm, or leg, can save lives.
