About Mechanical Thrombectomy (Stroke)
Mechanical thrombectomy is an emergency catheter procedure that removes a blood clot from a blocked brain artery during an acute stroke. It restores blood flow to limit brain damage.
A catheter is passed from the groin or wrist to the blocked vessel, and the clot is pulled out with a retrievable stent or sucked out through a wide catheter. It is generally used for large vessel blockages and often follows clot-busting medicine. Speed matters, with best results when treatment starts within hours and, in selected patients on imaging, up to about a day.
Usually a good fit if
- A large-vessel blockage causing acute stroke, confirmed on CT or MR angiography.
- Treatment within the time window set by imaging, typically up to 6 hours and in selected cases up to about 24 hours.
- Salvageable brain tissue shown on perfusion imaging.
- Reasonable independence before the stroke.
May need to wait if
- Large completed stroke with little salvageable brain.
- Intracranial bleeding on the scan.
- No large-vessel clot to remove.
- Very poor prior function, or terminal illness, may limit benefit.
How to prepare
- This is an emergency treatment, so there is little time for preparation. Reach a stroke-capable hospital immediately.
- If time allows, bring medicine lists, a record of blood thinners and the time symptoms began.
- Family should be ready to give consent and history quickly.
- After treatment, plan for stroke unit care and later rehabilitation, which may begin abroad or at home.
- Ask about arranging medical transfer home when the team considers you fit.
Questions to ask your surgeon
- Does my scan show a clot that can be removed, and is it within the window?
- How many thrombectomies does your team perform each year?
- Will I also receive clot-dissolving medicine?
- What risks, such as bleeding, apply to me?
- What stroke unit and rehabilitation will I have afterwards?
- How is secondary stroke prevention planned?
Red flags when comparing hospitals
- No 24-hour stroke team or angiography suite.
- No CT or MR angiography before treatment.
- Treatment recommended long after the time window without imaging.
- No stroke unit or rehabilitation to follow.
