"The study proved that a procedure called thrombectomy was highly effective in a group of severe strokes, that up to this point, we haven't had a treatment for" said Dr. Steven Warach, the principal investigator for this study at Dell Seton Medical Center."When a stroke happens, blood flow to the brain is interrupted by a blockage in an artery thrombosis, usually a blood clot," Dr. Warach explained.
Dr. Warack said in the past, a thrombectomy was only performed and deemed beneficial on patients with less brain damage or a "smaller core." "There's this other group of strokes that come in with much more severe damage, called large core, that we were not able to treat," he said. "But, what this trial proved is that treating those large core with a thrombectomy, that pulls the clot out of the artery in the brain, was highly effective in improving the outcome."
