Revolutionizing Stroke Care with a Tiny Clot-Busting Robot
Ischemic stroke is a medical emergency, but even the best treatments leave room for improvement. Jeremy Heit, division chief of neuroimaging and neurointervention, asked “how can we do better?” Together with Renee Zhao, they developed the Millispinner: a tiny device that can reduce clots down to 5% of their original size.
