Have you or a loved one suddenly experienced slurred speech, arm weakness, or facial droop? These could be signs of a dangerous ischemic stroke caused by a blocked brain artery. At Curis Life Clinic, Andheri West, we provide mechanical thrombectomy and endovascular stroke intervention — life-saving procedures to remove brain clots, restore blood flow, and significantly improve recovery chances. Our expert interventional radiologists and neuro-interventional team are trained in the latest stroke clot removal procedures to deliver urgent care when it matters most.
What is Acute Stroke Thrombectomy?
Acute Stroke Thrombectomy (also known as endovascular thrombectomy, cerebral thrombectomy, or brain clot removal surgery) is a minimally invasive technique used to treat acute ischemic stroke caused by a large vessel occlusion (LVO). During the procedure, an interventional stroke specialist inserts a catheter into a blood vessel (usually in the groin), advances it to the brain artery, and uses a stent retriever or aspiration catheter to physically remove the clot. This clot retrieval procedure rapidly restores blood flow to the brain, referred to as reperfusion therapy.
This procedure is the standard of care for eligible stroke patients and can dramatically reduce long-term disability when done in time.
When is Thrombectomy Required? — Conditions Indicating Brain Clot Removal
You may be a candidate for stroke thrombectomy if you have:
- Acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion (LVO stroke)
- Brain artery blockage causing loss of blood flow to a portion of the brain
- Failed or ineligible for IV thrombolysis (clot-dissolving drugs)
- Time window within clinically acceptable limits (typically 6–24 hours depending on imaging)
- Symptoms of brain ischemia, neurological deficit, or worsening neurological signs
Thrombectomy offers a powerful alternative even when clot-dissolving drugs are not enough — giving patients a second chance at recovery.
Causes
- Clot formation (thrombus) in a brain artery or an embolus traveling from heart or neck vessels
- Atherosclerotic plaque rupture in carotid or cerebral arteries
- Cardiac conditions like atrial fibrillation that cause emboli
- Clot migration after cardiac or vascular procedures
- Severe arterial narrowing or vascular disease causing poor blood flow
Recognizing your risk factors early—such as high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking, or cardiac issues—allows for preventive steps and early intervention if needed.
Diagnose
At Curis Life Clinic, Andheri West, our stroke team provides rapid evaluation using:
- CT Brain and CT Angiography — to identify clot location and vessel occlusion
- MRI Brain — to map salvageable brain tissue
- Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) — for precise intervention planning
- Neurology + Neuro-interventional specialist evaluation
We aim to minimize door-to-groin time and ensure the fastest possible intervention, maximizing chances of recovery.
What Happens During a Mechanical Thrombectomy
- Local anesthesia and sedation; catheter inserted via artery in groin or wrist
- Catheter navigated to blocked cerebral vessel under live imaging
- Deployment of stent retriever or aspiration catheter
- Clot retrieval or aspiration restores blood flow (“recanalization therapy”)
- Close post-procedure neuro-ICU monitoring
- Early rehabilitation planning for stroke recovery
The procedure is minimally invasive, often completed within 1–2 hours, with many patients showing improved neurological function soon after.
Precision Medicine
We believe in precision medicine — tailoring stroke treatment to each individual’s unique condition. Our approach considers:
- The exact location and size of vessel occlusion
- Brain imaging to identify salvageable brain tissue
- Patient’s age, comorbidities, and risk profile
- Neurologic status and potential for recovery
This individualized plan determines whether mechanical thrombectomy, IV thrombolysis, or combined therapy is best — improving outcomes and reducing complications.
