Brain Power: McCallie teen awarded patent for revolutionary stroke treatment design

Great idea. But once again proving that stroke medical personnel  don't even know that a ton of neurons  keep dying after circulation is restored. Its almost as if they have never heard of the neuronal cascade of death. From 2009. Would you see any other doctor that is 4 years out-of-date?

Christian's device prototype also uses a catheter-into-artery approach, but instead aims to drill through the clot before any attempt to remove it is made. Once through, it can supply the barren, neglected side of the artery with direly needed blood flow in as little as five minutes.

But is this just showering the downstream arteries and capillaries with debris?
