The procedure was successfully performed with the clot being extracted, and the patient was doing well at press time.

“It is important to state that the patient was previously refused by 5 other interventional radiology centers due to either the lack of kits to perform the intervention, or due to the lack of staff”, emphasized Dr. Dan Teodorovici.
