A machine can suck out blood clots in the brain and save the lives of those who suffer from stroke or avoid severe disability.
When embolization blocks the local blood supply to the brain, it can cause a stroke. It is necessary to remove the thrombus as soon as possible to allow the cells to supply oxygen to avoid further damage.
Usually doctors use intravenous drugs for thrombolysis.
Now 20 hospitals in the UK are experimenting with new surgery called intra-arterial embolectomy, which takes only 12 minutes.
The cannula inserted through the inguinal artery is able to aspirate the thrombus. The surgery has successfully saved the lives of a 60-year-old patient. The patient has passed the gold treatment period for two months. But after the doctor took out the 2-inch blood clot in his brain, his right and left could move immediately.
The Stroke Research team aspirate blood clots by scanning CT scans of the brain. This process inserts a catheter through the arterial system. A smaller catheter inside the catheter can be broken down into small pieces by a blood clot and then sucked out.
The technology is currently being tested and promoted in hospitals in the UK.
