Stanford is developing a Milli-Spinner device for more efficient stroke treatment

Researchers at Stanford University say they have developed a more effective way to treat cerebral vascular accidents.

The new technology, called Milli-Spinner thrombectomy, has proven to have more successful results for patients who have experienced stroke, as well as heart attacks, pulmonary embolisms and other clots related to clot, according to a university press release.

Blood clots are grouped by wire -shaped proteins called fibrin. The Mill -Spinner – which is a long hollow and hollow rotary tube with a series of “fins and slits” – enters the body through a catheter and applies strength and suction to the clot.

Consequently, the blood clot is reduced in size – up to 5% of its original volume – without breaking any of the fibrin wires.

This is important because the rupture of the clot can lead to the exhaust of it and end up in places difficult to access, noted the researchers.

With the milliped mill, the red blood cells are “released” and the much smaller fibrine clot is removed from the body.

“With existing technology, there is no way to reduce the size of the clot. They count on the deformation and rupture of the clot to remove it,” said the main author Renee Zhao, assistant professor of mechanical engineering, in the press release.

“What is unique about the Mill-Spinner is that it applies compression and shear forces to shrink the entire clot, considerably reducing the volume without causing rupture.”

Time is gasoline when treating an ischemic stroke, that is to say when the oxygen cuttings cut to the brain. Studies have shown that for every minute in a stroke, 1.9 million cerebral neurons and 14 billion synapses are destroyed.

With current technologies, clots are only deleted about half the time during the first try, and they completely fail about 15% of the time. (istock)

With current technologies, clots are only deleted about half of the time during the first test, the press release indicated, and they completely fail about 15% of the time.

“For most cases, we double the efficiency of current technology, and for the most difficult clots – that we only remove 11% of the time with current devices – we opened the artery on the first 90% trial of time,” said co -author Jeremy Heit, chief of neuroimagery and neurointerrement in Stanford, in the version.

“It is a sea change technology that will considerably improve our ability to help people.”

The results of the researchers, who incorporated both animal studies and machine -based flow models, were published on June 4 in the journal Nature.

The multi-spinner could potentially be used for other applications, such as the capture and elimination of renal stone fragments, the press release noted.

The team now strives to have new technology approved for clinical use, clinical trials that should start soon.

“What makes this technology really exciting is its unique mechanism for actively reshaping and compacting clots, rather than simply extracting them,” said Zhao.

“We work to put this in a clinical environment, where this could considerably increase the success rate of thrombectomy procedures and save the lives of patients.”
