Patients suffering from an ischemic stroke can be admitted to Apollo Hospitals immediately for a variety of interventions such as intravenous thrombolysis, intra-arterial thrombolysis, and mechanical thrombolysis. A functional DSA laboratory dedicated to such intervention is also available around the clock for imaging with CT scan head and MRI. Neurologic exams, brain imaging tests (CT, or computerized tomography scan; MRI, or magnetic resonance imaging), carotid and transcranial ultrasound and angiography, blood tests, EKG (electrocardiogram) or an ultrasound examination (echocardiogram), and other diagnostic tests are available at the hospital.
For large clots that cannot be dissolved by intravenous thrombolytics, newer interventional treatments such as clot retrieval procedures are used. Mechanical retrieval can help patients for up to 12 hours. Following treatment, the patient recovers at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital's special Stroke ICU, which is equipped with round-the-clock monitoring and stringent infection control. Intensive rehabilitation begins almost immediately. Sophisticated equipment, such as robotic rehabilitation, aids in the efficient recovery of limb function. Dr. Anoop Kohli, Dr. Bhanu Pant, and Dr. C. M Malhotra are some of the neurologists at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital.
Indraprastha Apollo Hospital is known for delivering treatment to over 200,000 patients every year; 10,000 of which are generally medical tourists. The efficient team of doctors has the record of 99.6 percent success rate. Indraprastha Apollo Hospital deals in treatment of over 50 specialities.
