Thrombolysis and Thrombectomy for Stroke

Thrombolysis and thrombectomy are medical treatments for stroke, particularly when caused by a blood clot. Thrombolysis involves administering medication that dissolves the clot, restoring blood flow to the brain. This treatment is most effective when given soon after stroke symptoms begin. Thrombectomy, on the other hand, is a surgical procedure where doctors physically remove the clot using specialized tools. Both treatments aim to prevent further brain damage and improve recovery, and their effectiveness depends on how quickly they're administered after the onset of stroke symptoms.
