Pioneering treatment for stroke survivors

Researchers at Royal Melbourne Hospital announced recently on the ABC News they had proved the effectiveness of a new technique that almost doubles the chances patients will walk out of hospital after stroke.
The researchers combined two types of stroke treatment with new technology to improve the outcomes for people with the most severe form of stroke. Under the new approach, doctors used advanced brain imaging to identify which parts of the brain were irreversibly damaged and which parts were salvageable. They then used new stent technology to remove the clot.
