The clots removed from ischaemic stroke patients by mechanical thrombectomy are amyloid in nature
2024-11-04
Abstract excerpt
Ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion results from the blockage of a major cerebral artery by a clot; however, the origins and molecular composition of these clots remain poorly understood. Mechanical thrombectomy has become a standard treatment to remove obstructive clots, providing a unique opportunity to analyze their properties. We previously demonstrated that blood can clot into an amyloid-like form,...
