Shady Grove Medical Center Earns Certification in Breakthrough Stroke Treatment from The Joint Commission

By MCS Staff

Published October 14, 2022 at 3:37PM

Adventist HealthCare Shady Grove Medical Center has earned national certification for mechanical thrombectomy, a minimally invasive surgical treatment for stroke that studies show can improve outcomes for many patients. Shady Grove Medical Center attained Thrombectomy-Capable Stroke Center (TSC) Certification from The Joint Commission, in collaboration with the American Heart Association/American Stoke Association. To earn the certification, Shady Grove met high standards for providing thrombectomy and caring for patients after the procedure.

Thrombectomy is used to treat ischemic stroke, in which a clot blocks an artery to the brain. A skilled endovascular neurosurgeon navigates wires and catheters from the femoral artery, which is in the thigh, through the vessels of the neck and brain to the location of the clot. With the help of a stent, the surgeon removes the clot, allowing the brain to again get the oxygen and nutrients it needs.
