When time passes, the patient loses his chance for treatment and is forced to bed. can become addicted.

When the clot occurs in the carotid artery, which we call the great vein, or in the large veins in the brain or behind the brain, it is possible to remove this clot by the method performed in the angiography unit. If the vascular occlusion is very large, it can even result in death. The patient is forced to live his life with hindrance in walking or being completely paralyzed. That’s why the first 4.5 hours are critical in stroke cases.”
