Improving Outcomes in Intracerebral Hemorrhagic Stroke


Doctor discussing brain MRI results with senior patient, diagnosing stroke, dementia, injuries, or neurological disorders.

Stroke remains a leading cause of death and long-term disability in the United States. Hemorrhagic strokes which result from bleeding in the brain account for just 13% of the nearly 800,000 strokes that occur in the U.S. each year, yet they are responsible for more than 40% of all stroke-related deaths.1 The two primary subtypes of hemorrhagic strokes are intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).


Emerging techniques such as Minimally Invasive Perifascicular Surgery (MIPS) allow for targeted clot evacuation with minimal disruption to surrounding brain tissue, offering a promising approach to improve outcomes to improve outcomes for people affected by ICH.
