A new hospital procedure is revolutionizing the way blood clots are treated, offering hope to patients suffering from life-threatening conditions. The procedure involves using advanced devices, such as stent-retrievers and catheters, to mechanically remove blood clots from blocked arteries and restore blood flow.
One such device, the Supernova stent-retriever, has been approved for use in India and has shown excellent safety and efficacy outcomes in patients suffering from severe strokes. This device can remove multiple types of blood clots, effectively opening blocked arteries and significantly improving outcomes for stroke patients.
Another innovative approach is the “on-the-table” (OTT) therapeutic strategy, which uses the BASHIR Endovascular Catheter to break down blood clots in the pulmonary arteries. This procedure can be completed in under an hour, eliminating the need for post-procedural drug infusion in an intensive care unit.
Devices like the FlowTriever Retrieval/Aspiration System and the ClotTriever XL system are also being used to remove blood clots from the lungs and deep veins, respectively. These minimally invasive procedures have shown promising results, with patients experiencing rapid improvement in symptoms and reduced risk of complications.
The milli-spinner thrombectomy device is another cutting-edge technology that can shrink blood clots by up to 95%, making them easier to remove. This device has shown significant potential in treating acute ischemic stroke, pulmonary embolism, and other thrombotic conditions.
