What is Mechanical Thrombectomy?
Mechanical Thrombectomy is a revolutionary advancement in minimally invasive emergency vascular care. This procedure uses specialised catheter-based devices—including stent retrievers and aspiration systems—to physically capture and remove a thrombus from a blocked artery or vein. Once the clot is removed, normal blood flow is immediately restored to the affected brain, limb, or organ.
Unlike thrombolytic therapy alone, Mechanical Thrombectomy directly extracts the obstruction rather than waiting for it to dissolve, making it far more effective for large vessel occlusions. Performed in a dedicated cath lab under real-time angiography, this 1 to 3-hour procedure is one of the fastest and most impactful life-saving interventions in modern medicine.
Symptoms That May Require Mechanical Thrombectomy
Recognising warning signs early is critical. Seek emergency care immediately if you notice:
Sudden weakness, numbness, or paralysis on one side (Acute Ischemic Stroke)
Sudden confusion, slurred speech, or loss of vision
Severe leg pain, swelling, or redness (Deep Vein Thrombosis)
Cold, pale, or mottled limb suggesting Acute Limb Ischemia
Chest pain, rapid heartbeat, or difficulty breathing (Pulmonary Embolism)
Sudden loss of limb function or movement
How the Mechanical Thrombectomy Procedure Works
At Fortis Hospital Mohali, the procedure follows a precise, step-by-step approach in a fully equipped cath lab:
Step 1: Anesthesia
Local or general anesthesia is administered to ensure patient comfort and safety.
Step 2: Imaging Confirmation
CT scan, MRI, or CT Angiography is used to confirm clot location and plan the catheter path.
Step 3: Access
A small incision at the groin or wrist allows a thin, flexible catheter to enter the blood vessel.
Step 4: Navigation
Advanced angiography guides the catheter precisely to the exact site of the obstruction.
Step 5: Clot Removal
A stent retriever traps the thrombus or aspiration applies suction for immediate extraction.
Step 6: Flow Restoration
Post-removal imaging confirms successful restoration of blood flow to the brain or limb.
Step 7: Closure & Monitoring
The catheter is withdrawn, the site closed, and the patient is moved to ICU for monitoring.
Benefits and Advantages of Mechanical Thrombectomy
Mechanical Thrombectomy stands apart from other clot removal approaches due to its unique, patient-friendly advantages — providing immediate restoration of blood flow through advanced interventional techniques.
Minimally invasive - no major open surgery, no large incisions, no stitches required
Immediate clot removal delivering rapid restoration of blood flow to brain, limbs, and organs
Faster recovery - most patients are mobilised within 24 to 48 hours post-procedure
No requirement for prolonged thrombolytic therapy or repeated clot-busting medicines
Precision image-guided procedure ensuring targeted clot removal with minimal vessel trauma
Prevents irreversible tissue death, long-term disability, and limb loss
Reduces mortality and serious long-term complications compared to medication alone
