SUNNY WEATHER JEN, OVER TO YOU.
ABILITY SEVEN 95 PEOPLE SUFFER
STROKES A YEAR THAT INCLUDES
RECURRENT ATTACKS DO YOU KNOW
YOUR RISK?
WHAT ABOUT THE WARNING SIGNS YOU
MAY THIS THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN
TO YOU, THAT IS JUST NOT TRUE.
RICH MANTEI IS HERE, THANK YOU
FOR BEING HERE, REALLY
APPRECIATE IT.
IF WE CAN START WITH YOU, YOU'RE
A HEALTHY GUY, YOU WORK OUT,
FIVE DAYS A WEEK AND THIS
HAPPENED TO YOU WHILE YOU WERE
AT THE GYM IT DID.
I KNOW YOU DON'T HAVE ACTUAL
MEMORY OF THE EVENT ITSELF BUT
WHEN YOU WOKE UP AND THEY SAID
YOU HAD A STROKE.
I'VE BEENS A BACK SINCE THEN
AND EVERYONE LOOKS AT ME AND
THEIR REACTION IS THE SAME AS
MINE, HOW DID YOU MAKE IT
THROUGH THIS, PEOPLE HEAR MAJOR
STROKE,S AND THINK YOU SHOULD BE
A VEGETABLE BUT THANKS TO THIS
GUY I'M NOT.
THE GYM AND IF IT WAS GOING TO
HAPPEN, IT HAPPENED AT THE RIGHT
PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME.
YOU HAD HER REDTARY
BACKGROUND.
HAD YOU BEEN SEEING A DOCTOR
REGULARLY BECAUSE YOU WERE ATN
INCREASED RISK?
I DIDN'T HAVE ANY REAL
BACKGROUND FOR STROKE.
I HAVE A BACKGROUND OF BLOOD
VESSEL ISSUES.
I HAD UNEPISODE OF A BLOOD CLOT
IN MY LEG, IT IT WAS TREATED AND
TAKEN CARE OF AND DONE OR SO I
THOUGHT, MAYBE NOT QUITE SO MUCH
BUT NOW IT IS UNDER CONTROL.
I WOULD THINK SO BECAUSE OF
THIS GUY.
AND YOUR CARDIOLOGIST AS
WELL.
LET'S TALK THERE IS A PROCEDURE
THEN THAT YOU SPECIFICALLY USE
BECAUSE TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE,
WITHIN THAT 6-OUR COUPLE OF HOUR
QUINN WINDOW CAN BE THE
DIFFERENCE OF USE OF ALL OF HIS
ARMS AND THERE IS NO DROOPING
AND WHATNOT, ANY PARALYSIS AND
NOT.
TIME IS THE ESSENCE, AND IT
IS TRULY IMPORTANT AND PEOPLE
ARE AWARE OF THIS HE'S A PERFECT
EXAMPLE OF THAT, PEOPLE CAN SAY
HE'S TOO YOUNG, BUT PEOPLE REACT
RIGHT AWAY, CALLING EMS RIGHT
AWAY AND BROUGHT TO THE HOSPITAL
RIGHT AWAY AND SEQUENCE OF
EVENTS TOOK PLACE TO MAKE SURE
HE DIDN'T HAVE ANY PERMANENT
DEFICIT FOR THIS.
YOU USED A PROCEDURE THAT
INVOLVES GOING THROUGH AN ARTERY
AND BASICALLY PULLING THIS CLOT
OUT NEAR THE BRAIN.
THERE ARE TWO APPROVED
TREATMENT FOR STROKE, THE FIRST
IS CLOT BUSTER.
SO GOT THIS TREATMENT AND THEN
IT WAS IMMEDIATELY TRANSFERRED
DOWNTOWN WHERE WE WENT AS YOU
CAN SEE TINY CATHETER, A PLASTIC
TUBE WE CAN NAVIGATE FROM THE
GROIN TO THE ARTERIES IN THE
BRAIN.
AND THEN WE DEPLOYED THIS MIKE
CROW FISHING NET AND THE CLOT
ITSELF WILL INCORPORATE WITHIN
THIS DEVICE AND THEN WE CAN
RETRIEVE THIS.
AMAZING IN TERMS OF THE
TECHNOLOGY ASK HOW FAR WE HAVE
COME.
WHAT KIND OF SYMPTOM, WARNING
SIGNS ARE THERE THAT SOMEONE
SHOULD PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO
AND NOT IGNORE.
A QUICK WAY TO REMIND THOSE
SIGN AND SYMPTOMS, BE FAST, B,
SOMEBODY HAS BALANCE PROBLEMS,
THAT COULD BE A SIGN.
E FOR EYE, IF THERE IS A PROBLEM
WITH EYESIGHT, SOMEBODY LOSE THE
VISION, SEEING DOUBLE, COULD BE
ANOTHER SIGN.
AND FAST, F A DROOPY FACE, A ARM
IF THERE IS LEG OR WEAKNESS,
OBVIOUSLY OF A LIMB.
AND USUALLY THAT WILL BE ON ONE
SIDE MORE THAN THE OTHER S, IF
THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH SPEECH,
PROBLEM WITH SPEAKING OR
UNDERSTANDING AND T TO REMIND
PEOPLE THAT TIME IS THE ESSENCE.
SO BE FAST.
AND YOU'RE DOING WELL.
SO FAR SO GOOD.
I'M COMPLETELY BACK TO EVERY
ROUTINE I WAS INTO BEFORE.
I WAS BACK AT WORK WITHIN A
MATTER OF A COUPLE OF DAYS AND
REALLY ONCE I GOT THROUGH THE
PHYSICAL REHAB PART OF IT, NOW
IT IS JUST THE FUNCTION OF
MAINTAINING IT.
