Remote Robotics Could Widen Access to Stroke Treatment
When treating strokes, every second counts. But for patients in remote areas, it may take hours to receive treatment. The standard treatment for a common type of stroke, caused by large clots interrupting blood flow to the brain, is a procedure called endovascular thrombectomy, or EVT. During the procedure, an experienced surgeon pilots catheters through blood vessels to the blockage, accessed through a major channel such as the femoral artery in the groin. This is typically aided by X-ray imagi
