Mechanical thrombectomy is a groundbreaking medical procedure used to remove blood clots (thrombus) from arterial blood vessels, primarily in the brain, crucial in treating acute ischemic stroke. This minimally invasive intervention involves inserting a catheter into an artery- usually at the wrist or groin and then guiding it to the clot. The catheter is a specialized device that breaks up or extracts the clot. By swiftly restoring blood flow to the brain, mechanical thrombectomy significantly reduces disability and improves patient outcomes. Medical students, nurses, paramedics, pharmacists, and physician associates benefit from understanding this vital procedure in emergency care. #MechanicalThrombectomy #MedicalIntervention #StrokeTreatment #LearnMedicine #Anatomy #Physiology #MedicalStudents #Nurses #Paramedics #Pharmacists #PhysicianAssociates #MedicalProcedures #ThrombusRemoval #EmergencyMedicine #Healthcare“
