What is the golden hour for stroke treatment?

The first 4.5 hours after stroke onset are critical. IV thrombolysis is most effective within this window. Mechanical thrombectomy can be performed up to 24 hours in select patients.

What is mechanical thrombectomy?

A minimally invasive procedure where a catheter is inserted through the groin to remove the blood clot from the brain. It can dramatically improve outcomes in large vessel strokes.

Can stroke be prevented?

Yes, by controlling blood pressure, diabetes, cholesterol, quitting smoking, regular exercise, and healthy diet. Dr. Dash provides comprehensive stroke risk assessment.

What is the recovery time after stroke?

Recovery varies. The most significant improvement occurs in the first 3-6 months with dedicated rehabilitation. Long-term support may be needed.
