During interventional stroke treatment, clot-dissolving agents are delivered from a catheter into a blood clot that is located in a large artery of the brain. This reduces damage caused by a stroke that has occurred as a result of lack of oxygen to the brain, and is most effective when performed within three hours after stroke symptoms begin.
