Find out about the different treatments available to combat a stroke, including thrombolysis and thrombectomy.

Ronnie had a thrombectomy, a stroke treatment that was only rolled out thanks to stroke research. Hear how it transformed his recovery.

Thrombectomy saves brains and changes lives. So why are so many people missing out?

Thrombectomy is a game changing treatment for stroke. It’s one of the most effective medical interventions ever developed.

Thrombectomy is a procedure to treat ischaemic stroke caused by a blood clot. Learn about the procedure and the challenges of making it more widely available.

Since thrombectomy became available as an emergency stroke treatment in 2017, fewer than 2,500 have been carried out per year.

TENSION is a new international study funded by the EU, and hoping to extend the benefits of mechanical thrombectomy to more stroke patients.

The aim of this programme is to develop and test a new care pathway for paramedics to recognise the patients who are likely to have a large artery blockage, so that this group can be taken directly to the thrombectomy hospital.

Thrombectomy saves brains, saves money and changes lives, so why do so many stroke patients miss out? If you agree that Saving Brains is vital, support our campaign.

Explore the situation in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and see how together we can all make this key procedure available to all those living in the UK
