Nottingham University Hospital (NUH) NHS Trust is investing £13.5 million to enable the expansion of their mechanical thrombectomy service to a 24/7 service for people in the East Midlands. Mechanical Thrombectomy may be appropriate for some patients who suffer from a large clot related stroke. These types of strokes often lead to severe disability, and in many instances increases the risk of death. Mechanical Thrombectomy procedures can save lives and, in some instances, can lead to rapid and complete recovery to those who would have likely needed to stay in hospital for a long time.
