“A 76-year-old smoker, hypertension, with a pre-stroke ranking of 1. The patient presented in the morning at 8 o’clock with aphasia and right paresis. At 9:25am the patient arrived to the hospital with NIHSS of 19. At 9:35am, we received the patient inside the angio suite, and we performed a combined CT, and we found hyperdense left MCA sign. At 9:37am we found the arterial approach. And the time from door, emergency door to groin, was 12 minutes.”

“70-year-old female presented with left hemiparesis and dysarthria. Onset-to-awareness time, around six hours her NIH strokes get ten. And then electrocardiogram shows the Af rhythm. There is no bleeding in the brain. The DWI shows the mild bright region in the right middle cerebral artery territory. And the MRI shows the M2 occlusion probably. The angiogram shows the right M2 occlusion. After thrombectomy, complete recanalization of right MCA territory and occlusion, MCA, and therefore it got to puncture recanalization around 20 minutes.”
