Brain Vacuum Reverses Stroke Damage
Jun-10-10
A new tool developed by researchers, the Penumbra System of Continuous Aspiration Thrombectomy, vacuums out clots from blood vessels in the brain, and can reverse the effects of stroke if used within in a few hours of the incident.The process involves threading a tiny catheter into a blood vessel up from the groin to the neck, at which point an even smaller catheter emerges and goes up into the brain.
The procedure only works on victims of massive strokes, so patients must receive a CT scan as soon as possible.
