clot retrieval

Clot retrieval is a medical procedure used to urgently remove a blood clot blocking blood flow to the brain, often during a stroke. Using advanced imaging, doctors guide a thin tube through blood vessels to the clot. They then insert a device, like a tiny net or suction system, to grab or break up the clot and extract it. Removing the clot quickly restores blood flow, minimizing brain damage and improving recovery chances. It's a crucial, minimally invasive intervention performed by specialized teams to treat certain types of strokes caused by large artery blockages.
