NCRA interventional radiologists perform the highest volume of
mechanical arterial thrombectomy in San Diego for ischemic stroke.
Mechanical thrombectomy is an endovascular technique used to remove
blood clots from the brain after an ischemic stroke. The procedure
involves making a small incision in the groin, doctors then thread thin
tubes (catheters) through your blood vessels to reach the clot. Clot
Removal is achieved via a tiny device at the catheter’s tip grabs the clot
and removes it, restoring blood flow to the brain.
