Surgeon leading nationwide registry to evaluate effectiveness of new tool to remove blood clots of stroke patients

Every 70 to 90 seconds, someone in the United States has a stroke or a mini stroke. Large vessel occlusions, which require a thrombectomy, account for 10-15% of total ischemic strokes.  A multicenter study led by Kaustubh Limaye, MD, an associate professor of clinical neurology, neurological surgery and radiology and imaging sciences at the IU School of Medicine found that a novel device used to surgically treat patients with large vessel occlusions — a severe type of ischemic stroke — is a safe and effective way to remove blood clots in the brain.
