รักษาหลอดเลือดสมองอุดตันด้วย Endovascular Intervention Therapy ทางเลือกใหม่..ที่ไม่ต้องผ่าตัด

<p>Stroke is a major cause of death and disability in older patients. Even though surgical treatment is an option, the location of blood vessels and their small size make surgery difficult. As a result, technologies have been developed today to provide new treatment options. For example, endovascular intervention therapy has been developed to help make these patients better without requiring surgery or a long recovery time.</p>
<h2><span style="color: #00826a;"><strong>Learn about the new non-surgical treatment option for stroke.</strong></span></h2>
<p>Endovascular intervention therapy is a technology used to treat stroke’s patients. It involves inserting a stent into the obstructive blood vessel without requiring surgery.</p>
<p>Normally, human blood vessels deteriorate and have a limited usage life just like water pipes. As a person grows older, the blood vessels experience a decline in their function, leading to greater risk of blood clots that have degenerated or peeled off to obstruct a blood vessel. Therefore, endovascular intervention therapy is like dredging pipes to remove obstruction, which if left to remain for an excessive period of time, can cause ischemia in the brain, leading to the patient having risk of suffering from paralysis or paresis.</p>
<h2><span style="color: #00826a;"><strong>The reason why surgery might not be the best solution.</strong></span></h2>
<p>In theory, stroke caused by occlusion can be treated surgically. In practice, however, doctors have to cut very deeply before finding the blood vessel that they need to operate on. This sort of surgery will impact surrounding blood vessels and organs, so it is not a worthwhile technique to pursue, since it can harm other organs. In addition, treatment must be performed very delicately by a highly skilled physician in order for the treatment to be safe.</p>
<h2><span style="color: #00826a;"><strong>Endovascular Intervention Therapy Procedure</strong></span></h2>
<ol>
<li>The patient has to undergo detailed diagnosis with the help of MRI, MRA, MR perfusion and CT scans to allow doctors to learn about the location of blood vessel obstruction.</li>
<li>A team of radiologists will prepare catheterization equipment for the endovascular intervention.</li>
<li>A medical team will insert a catheter into an artery on the right side of the groin in order to have the stent move against the direction of blood flow to reach the site of obstruction more easily.</li>
<li>When the right position is discovered, doctors will use the stent to drag out the obstructive blood clot.</li>
</ol>
<h2><span style="color: #00826a;"><strong>Limitations of Endovascular Intervention Therapy</strong></span></h2>
<ol>
<li>Endovascular intervention therapy cannot be performed if the site of obstruction is too winding, since it cannot be reached by the treatment instrument.</li>
<li>If the site of obstruction is extremely small, endovascular intervention is not necessary, because it is not harmful to the brain.</li>
<li>If the blood vessel where there is obstruction is too long, a stent cannot be inserted.</li>
<li>Some patients experience a type of stroke in which the blood vessels become self-obstructing without the involving of a blood clot.</li>
