Mechanical thrombectomy:
At Apollo Hospitals, we have highly experienced interventional
radiologists available 24/7 for mechanical thrombectomy. As one of the high-volume centers
offering this service, we are in a superior position for this advanced endovascular
procedure,
which is used to remove blood clots from the brain following an ischemic stroke.
Mechanical thrombectomy provides numerous advantages, including improved outcomes
and reduced disability for patients. The treatment window can be extended up to 24 hours,
making it an ideal option for patients who are not eligible for intravenous therapy, those
who
arrive after the 4.5-hour window for thrombolytic agents, or those who do not respond to
intravenous therapy.
