Разработан новый метод быстрого восстановления после инсультаDoctors told about the new way rapid treatment of stroke.

Injection of miniature magnetic beads, implantable in the blood of people affected by stroke, can revolutionize the treatment of this terrible disease, experts say. Innovative design helps to deliver therapeutic drugs through the circulatory system is 30 times faster than usual.

One in five strokes are usually caused by a blood clot that blocks a vessel in the brain and disrupts the oxygen supply, which may be fatal. Half of all survivors of stroke are disabled. Blood-thinning drugs that are usually given to patients for several hours after a stroke, it takes some time to reach a blood clot.

But by injecting tiny balls of iron oxide, created by the American company Pulse Therapeutics, efficacy greatly increased.

Granules that are smaller than blood cells, are inserted through a vein in the arm immediately after receiving the blood-thinning drug injection is also made at hand. Device containing a rapidly rotating magnet located near the patient’s head, and the magnetic force facilitates the transport of Preparata along the blocked blood vessels to eliminate life-threatening thrombus. After the pellets have done their job, they are excreted.

International research has shown that the introduction of magnetic beads for three hours after a stroke, 33% of patients did not suffer from significant disability compared with 23% of patients who did not receive this therapy.
