Advanced Stroke Management

Ischemic Stroke Treatment

Goal: For ischemic strokes, the primary goal is to restore blood flow quickly to prevent brain cell death.

  • Intravenous Thrombolysis (Clot-Busting Injection): Administered within 4.5 hours of stroke onset to dissolve blood clots.
  • Mechanical Thrombectomy: A minimally invasive procedure performed within 6 hours to remove the clot from the brain’s artery.
  • Neuroimaging-Guided Decision Making: MRI and CT scans are used to customize the treatment for each patient’s unique condition.

  • 24x7 Neurocritical Care: Continuous monitoring and support for optimal recovery.
