Dr. Robert Fahed is one of only four interventional neuroradiologists and stroke neurologists in Canada. In this episode, he discusses the innovative and ever-evolving stroke treatment happening at The Ottawa Hospital, including thrombectomy, where blood clots are plucked from the brains of patients suffering from ischemic stroke.
You’ll learn more about what he means by thrombectomy “home runs”, the three major evolutions in thrombectomy and the momentum at which stroke care is changing, the impact philanthropy has on making this all happen, and where you might find him when he’s not at the hospital. (32:44)
