Increasing Global Access to Stroke Intervention & Treatment: Mission Thrombectomy 2020 (MT2020+)

Stroke Thrombectomy, also known as Mechanical Thrombectomy, is a new highly effective time-sensitive medical intervention that has demonstrated the potential to reverse paralysis from a stroke in over 60% of patients. Dr. Dileep Yavagal, a world-leading interventional stroke neurologist and Chair of the Society of Vascular and Interventional Neurology (SVIN), joins the Public Health Insight Podcast to discuss his initiative called Mission Thrombectomy (MT) 2020+ (missionthrombe...) . This initiative is guided by a systems-thinking approach targeted at all levels of prevention to expand access to stroke treatments and reduce the global morbidity and mortality associated with strokes.
