Calls for greater access to life-saving treatment for stroke

Update: 2023-03-28

Description

An endovascular thrombectomy has proven to be an effective treatment for stroke patients. In some cases, they’ve allowed patients to walk out of the hospital mere days after being admitted in life-threatening conditions. Matt Galloway talks to Marleen Conacher, who was treated using EVT for a stroke in 2021; and discusses calls to make the procedure more widely available with stroke physician Dr. Michael Hill.
