This kind of stroke happens when a blood clot blocks an artery that brings blood to the brain. This causes the brain to suddenly lose blood flow, which damages brain cells and causes neurological symptoms like weakness, trouble speaking, and changes in vision. Quick action can help prevent brain damage and speed up the healing process.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

To quickly dissolve the blood clot obstructing blood flow to the brain, a drug typically alteplase or tenecteplase, is injected via a vein. IV thrombolysis can greatly enhance recovery and lessen long-term disability, but it works best when administered within 4.5 hours of the onset of symptoms.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

A minimally invasive procedure that involves physically removing the blood clot from the blocked vein using a specialized catheter. Rapid blood flow restoration, symptom relief, and a lower risk of long-term complications like post-thrombotic syndrome are all provided by this technique. By physically removing the clot, mechanical thrombectomy frequently lowers the risk of bleeding. It can be used in conjunction with or instead of catheter-directed thrombolysis.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

To restore blood flow and stop additional strokes, a small, expandable tube called a stent is inserted into the neck’s constricted carotid artery. Patients with severe carotid artery narrowing who are at high risk for surgery or who have already experienced stroke symptoms are eligible for carotid stenting.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
