9News Story - Life-Saving Pediatric Stroke Intervention: The Role of Interventional Neuroradiology

ANZSNR member, Associate Professor Ronil Chandra, an Interventional Neuroradiologist at Monash Health, Melbourne, highlights the urgency of swift medical intervention in paediatric stroke cases. When 16-year-old Martin Herzog suffered a stroke, rapid action led to life-saving surgery. Within minutes, a clot was removed from Martin's brain, preventing what could have been a lifelong disability.

New Publication - Budget Impact of Mechanical Thrombectomy for AIS

View paper, here: Health budget implications of mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischaemic stroke in Australia - Rice - Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology - Wiley Online Library

 The key findings of the paper include:

  •  A cost savings of 21% - or approximately $36 million – over five years for the patient cohort treated with MT+V-tPA in Australia in 2021 (n=2194) compared to IV-tPA alone.

  • Sub-analysis conducted with 90-year-old patients still showed an estimated saving of $24.9m over 5 years (so it is still economically beneficial to treat elderly stroke patients with MT)

  • Each MT procedure performed delivers approximately $3280 in annual health system savings per patient.

  • The majority of these savings (78%) are generated within the first year, largely attributable to reduction in overall costs to 90 days.
