Retrievable Stent Thrombectomy

The Dredger retrievable stent thrombectomy is a minimally invasive procedure used to remove blood clots from the brain during an ischemic stroke. The technique involves the use of a retrievable stent, which is inserted through an artery in the groin and navigated to the site of the clot in the brain. The stent retriever is then deployed, and the clot is trapped within it, allowing it to be safely removed from the body.

DredgerTM retrievable stent thrombectomy is typically indicated for patients who have experienced an ischemic stroke caused by a large clot in a large vessel in the brain. Patients who are not eligible for clot-busting medication may also benefit from it. One of the main advantages of DredgerTM retrievable stent thrombectomy is its ability to quickly and effectively remove blood clots, which can prevent further damage to the brain and reduce the risk of long-term disability. Additionally, it is a minimally invasive procedure, which means it involves less risk than traditional methods of stroke treatment, such as open surgery.
