- Vision problems, such as blindness in one eye or double vision
- Weakness or paralysis in your limbs, which may be on one or both sides, depending on the affected artery
- Dizziness and vertigo
- Confusion
- Loss of coordination
- Drooping of face on one side
We provide minimally invasive Endovascular procedure for Ischemic Stroke which reducing the risk of stroke.
- Catheterization: Dr. Patil navigates specialized catheters through the arterial system to reach the site of the clot. These catheters serve as conduits for delivering instruments and devices to the precise location of the occlusion.
- Guidewire Manipulation: Utilizing fluoroscopic guidance, Dr. Patil skillfully maneuvers guidewires through the intricate network of cerebral arteries, facilitating the passage of thrombectomy devices to the target area.
- Microcatheter Deployment: Microcatheters are meticulously positioned within the affected arteries, allowing for the delivery of thrombectomy devices with exceptional precision and control
- Suction Force Application: Specialized aspiration catheters are utilized to create a suction force at the site of the clot, effectively entrapping the thrombus within the catheter tip.
- Thrombus Removal: By applying controlled suction, Dr. Patil gently aspirates the obstructing clot, gradually withdrawing it from the cerebral artery to restore unimpeded blood flow.
- Continuous Monitoring: Throughout the aspiration process, Dr. Patil diligently monitors the position of the catheter and the efficacy of thrombus removal to ensure optimal outcomes for the patient.
- Deployment and Expansion: Stent retrievers are deployed within the occluded artery and expanded to engage the thrombus. This action allows for the entrapment and retrieval of the clot upon subsequent retraction of the stent.
- Thrombus Capture: The mesh-like structure of the stent retriever effectively captures and ensnares the obstructive clot, facilitating its removal from the cerebral artery.
- Revascularization: Through the combined actions of aspiration and stent retriever usage, Dr. Patil achieves rapid revascularization of the affected cerebral artery, minimizing ischemic damage and optimizing neurological outcomes.
Ischemic stroke occurs when a blood clot blocks a blood vessel in the brain, while hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel ruptures, causing bleeding into the brain.
Intravenous thrombolysis involves administering clot-busting medication (tPA) intravenously to dissolve the blood clot causing the stroke, restoring blood flow to the affected area of the brain.
Mechanical thrombectomy is a minimally invasive procedure where a catheter is used to remove a blood clot from a blocked artery in the brain. It is typically performed in eligible patients with large vessel occlusion strokes within a certain time window.
Neurorehabilitation involves a range of therapies and exercises designed to help stroke survivors regain lost abilities, improve mobility, and enhance quality of life. It plays a crucial role in the long-term recovery and rehabilitation process after an ischemic stroke.
Time is critical in treating ischemic stroke. It’s important to seek immediate medical attention if you or someone you know experiences symptoms such as sudden weakness, numbness, or difficulty speaking, as early intervention can minimize brain damage and improve outcomes.
Preventive measures include maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise, a balanced diet, controlling high blood pressure, managing diabetes, quitting smoking, and monitoring cholesterol levels. Additionally, seeking prompt treatment for conditions such as atrial fibrillation can help reduce the risk of stroke.
