Municipal Agent Notes By John Sullivan
Yale’s “Game Changing” Stroke Treatment
This information comes from a recent Journal Inquirer
article by Ed Stannard of the New Haven Register.
Each year about 690,000 Americans experience an
ischemic stroke; that is, a stroke where a clot cuts off
blood flow to the brain. Stroke is the fifth leading
cause of death in the U.S. and “is a major cause of
adult disability,” according to the federal Centers of
Disease Control and Prevention. Last February it hap-
pened to Bill Yocum, a New London resident, who was
at a meeting in East Lyme. At Lawrence & Memorial
Hospital his was given IVTPA (intravenous tissue
plaminogen activator) the only treatment available for
large blood vessel acute strokes until last year. At first,
Yocum couldn’t talk, didn't know where he was,
dragged his right leg, and lost his concept of numbers.
He was flown from New London to Yale-New Haven
Hospital. There, Dr. Charles Matouk was able to re-
move the clot, using a device called a stent retriever.
Matouk, a cerebrovascular neurosurgeon describes it as
a wire threaded through a microcatheter with mesh on
the end. “It expands to about 4 millimeters in size, so
it’s tiny”, he says. The treatment involves threading the
stent retriever from the groin area into the large blood
vessels in the brain-known as the Circle of Willis.
Once the device reaches the blood clot, the stent is
forced onto it, sticks to it, and removes it. Within sec-
onds after the clots' removal-procedure is done under
local anesthetic-Yocum could immediately lift his
arms, start speaking, and understand more than when
he first arrived at Yale-New Haven. Dr. Martourk, who
has performed the procedure 70 times, says of the stent
retriever, “It’s really only in the last year that it’s
emerged as the new standard of care.” He says that for
those patients with the type of stroke that makes them
eligible for the stint retriever, “We’re able to open up
their blood vessels 90 percent of the time… What
we’re able to offer in Connecticut affords people with
these acute strokes the best outcome.”
Best Regards, John
