A brain stroke can occur when the blood supply to a part of the brain is interrupted or reduced, depriving brain tissue of oxygen and nutrients. Each part of the brain—whether the cerebrum, cerebellum, or brainstem—can be affected in unique ways depending on where the stroke occurs. For instance, a stroke in the cerebrum, the largest part of the brain, may lead to difficulties with speech, movement, and cognition. If it occurs in the cerebellum, which controls balance and coordination, symptoms can include dizziness, loss of balance, and coordination problems. A brainstem stroke, affecting vital functions like breathing and heart rate, can have life-threatening implications. Thankfully, mechanical thrombectomy offers an effective treatment for eligible patients. This procedure involves the use of a specialized device to remove the blood clot directly from the artery, restoring blood flow to the brain and minimizing damage. Early intervention with mechanical thrombectomy can greatly improve outcomes and help patients recover more effectively from a stroke.
