Stanford University researchers have developed a groundbreaking device called the “milli-spinner thrombectomy” that removes blood clots more effectively than current methods. This innovation, published in Nature on June 4, 2025, could transform how doctors treat strokes and save countless lives.

Every minute counts – the faster doctors remove the clot, the more brain cells survive and the better the patient’s chances of recovery. The Problem with Current Treatments Current approaches to blood clot removal succeed on the first try in … Continue reading Stanford’s Milli-Spinner Achieves 90% First-Try Success for Toughest Stroke Clots
