Immediately, the patient was examined by doctors at the Stroke Center and prescribed a digital subtraction cerebral angiogram and vascular intervention to remove the thrombus. After about 20 minutes of intervention, the team removed 6 pieces of thrombus measuring 2x2 mm, and the patient's cerebral blood vessels were completely reopened.
After 1 day of intervention, the patient was alert, had improved movement of the right arm and leg, continued to be monitored for rehabilitation treatment and screening for stroke risk factors, and had a strategy for monitoring and treatment to prevent stroke recurrence.
MSc. Dr. Hoang Quoc Viet - Deputy Head of the Department of Emergency and Intensive Care for Neurology - Stroke, Stroke Center said: The number of severe and younger stroke patients has tended to increase recently, the rate of patients aged 18-45 that the Center received has doubled compared to previous years.
Risk factors that increase stroke in young people are related to immune and genetic diseases and especially due to the impact of lifestyle, including: Use of birth control pills, abuse of stimulants, alcohol, tobacco, overweight and obesity, lack of exercise, staying up late, stress in life and work, especially, many people think they are young and healthy so they do not have regular health check-ups, only when they have a stroke and are hospitalized do they discover that they have underlying diseases such as blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, etc.
Doctors say that if a stroke patient does not receive emergency care within the "golden hour" (the first 4.5 hours after stroke symptoms appear), the chance of recovery is very difficult; many people have become disabled, losing the ability to care for themselves and losing the ability to work.
