    Therapy - Thrombectomy

    Endovascular thrombectomy, also known as mechanical thrombectomy, can be chosen when there is an intracranial thrombus. This procedure is performed by the interventional radiologist in the angiography room. The angiography/intervention room is designed for invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, which take place using imaging techniques (especially X-ray and ultrasound).
