As one of the top 100 neurosciences programs in the county, Harper University Hospital is a premier center for the neuroendovascular treatment of stroke. When a patient suffers a stroke due to a blood clot in the brain, stroke thrombolysis is the preferred treatment.

How it Works<
Using small wires and catheters thousandths of an inch in thickness, Harper’s neuroendovascular surgeons deliver clot dissolving medication directly to the blood clot. The result: normal blood flow returns.

When it’s Performed

Stroke thrombolysis is performed for patients with acute thromboembolic stroke within 6 hours of occurrence.
