A new Code Stroke strategy to speed local stroke patients through the hospital emergency doors and onto the treatment table has produced dramatic results in a matte…

Stanford Researchers Just Developed a ‘Game-Changing’ Stroke Treatment

A team of Stanford researchers has unveiled a new specialized surgical tool called the milli-spinner, a miniaturized rotor that might finally make stroke treatment, very literally, suck less. Strokes, especially the ischemic kind that clog up brain blood flow, are typically treated with thrombectomy. That method involves threading a catheter into the brain and either vacuuming out or grappling the clot like a claw machine. The approach is dicey,…

Stanford Scientists Develop ‘Game-Changing’ Treatment for Strokes, Heart Attacks

Leading researchers at Stanford University have announced a major breakthrough in treating stroke and heart attack patients that is a better, faster, and safer way to save lives than anything currently available. The post Stanford Scientists Develop ‘Game-Changing’ Treatment for Strokes, Heart Attacks appeared first on Slay News.

Stanford researchers develop ‘game-changing’ stroke treatment that doubles effectiveness

Stanford researchers develop milli-spinner thrombectomy technology that shrinks blood clots without breaking them, showing higher success rates for stroke treatment.

Stanford Doctors Invent Device That Appears to Be Able to Save Tons of Stroke Patients Before They Die

Researchers have developed a novel device that literally spins away the clots that block blood flow to the brain and cause strokes. As Stanford explains in a blurb, the novel milli-spinner device may be able to save the lives of patients who experience "ischemic stroke" from brain stem clotting. Traditional clot removal, a process known as thrombectomy, generally uses a catheter that either vacuums up the blood blockage or uses a wire mesh to en…

Dallas-Based Alva Health Gets $500K NSF Grant to Advance Real-Time Stroke Detection Wearable

Dallas Innovates, Every Day: Here's what's new + next in North Texas. What if a wearable could recognize a stroke before you even realize it’s happening? Symptoms can be subtle, and assessments subjective. That’s the idea behind Alva Health’s wrist-worn device—technology designed to detect stroke symptoms in real time and speed up access to emergency care.…The post Dallas-Based Alva Health Gets $500K NSF Grant to Advance Real-Time Stroke Detecti…
