Acute Stroke Thrombolysis
Clot-busting treatment within the critical first 4.5 hours of a stroke.
Time is brain. If you reach within 4.5 hours of symptom onset, we can dissolve the clot with an intravenous infusion and dramatically reduce long-term disability.
Our dedicated stroke unit and rapid imaging pathway mean patients are treated on average in under 30 minutes. Rehabilitation — physiotherapy, speech and swallow therapy — begins within 48 hours, not after discharge.
