Now Stroke Patients Will Be Treated, Core Stroke Clinical Trial Is Successful in AIIMS

Delhi AIIMS launches Grassroots (Gravity Stent-Retriever System for Reperfusion of Large Vessel Occlusion Stroke Trial) clinical trial. This trial will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the advanced stent-retriever. The success of the local trial will set new standards in stroke treatment in India. Advanced stent technology will bring a new revolution in the treatment of stroke patients.

Core stroke technology is for the treatment of blood clots. Using this technique, any patient with a blood clot can be treated. However, only its trials have yet started. His first case in India was a success at Delhi AIIMS. According to doctors, the patient is perfectly fine, has recovered and returned home. However, its results will now be analyzed in more detail. This trial began on August 15, 2024 and the first patient was successfully treated. Dr Deepti Vibha expressed confidence that the local trial will open a new direction in stroke treatment in India and the world.

Solution to the growing problem of strokes in India

The number of stroke patients is increasing in India, but treatment facilities are less. The field trials will provide safe and effective treatment for stroke patients. More than 1.45 billion people live in India and the country faces the challenge of stroke treatment. Of the 3.75 million stroke patients each year, only 4,500 receive life-saving mechanical thrombectomy treatment. Dr Shashwat Desai said India will have to take significant steps to save people from strokes.

Dr Shailesh Gaikwad of AIIMS said that basic treatment trials in interventional stroke treatment will prove very important for India. We are excited to evaluate advanced next-generation stent recovery technology.

The trial will be conducted in 16 hospitals in India

The core trial is being conducted across 16 hospitals in India, including the All India Institute of Medical Sciences and the Jawaharlal Institute of Post Graduate and Medical Education and Research, Puducherry.
