Endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) has been expanded to include all patients in NL who meet the criteria. EVT is a time-dependent treatment for patients with acute stroke and involves the mechanical removal of large clots obstructing brain vessels to promote blood flow. Health Minister John Hogan says this expansion is leading to healthier outcomes for stroke patients and reducing the length of hospital stays. Hogan says the procedure is done in Stt. John’s but a collaborative team will get patients there. As of this month, 246 patients flew to St. John’s for same day fly-in/fly-out cardiac catheterization flights.
