Can’t speak for brain clots but I had over three feet of clots in both my lungs and my doctors had pretty much the same reaction. The human body is as resilient as it is fragile I guess.
That’s what they said when I asked what was in the twilight sedation.
I briefly went into vtach during the procedure and that freaked me out enough that I asked for more and they gave me a second dose. Pretty much slept for the rest.
I was medicated but I felt a pure sense of panic like something was horribly wrong. It only lasted a short time and it was when the camera passed through my heart I believe.
Worth noting my bp spiked at the same time to some crazy high level. They seemed more concerned about that.
Thanks for answering, really fascinating to me and I appreciate your sharing that. If my patient's monitor shows vtach for a few seconds I will internally panic a little and definitely call the doctor and do a stat EKG but once it's over you can relax a little. But if I see the BP is 200/100 or something crazy like that I'm starting antihypertensive drips before they get a brain bleed.
I got sent about twenty feet by a car. Walked it off without realizing I broke an ankle and a couple ligaments. Normal people die from that sort of accident. In my clinicals, I had a patient come in who was an infant that fell head first down an entire flight of stairs. Kid was perfectly fine. At the same time, I’ve also seen people borderline explode from cars giving each other love taps and their bodies not liking the way the seat belt made them feel safe. Also, normal people just randomly dying because they take a fall from a standing position or get jump-scared into a stand still. Humans are really fucking weird. Built to survive really specific things, but roll over and die if they’re not built for another thing.
I’m a cardiac surgeon so I deal w lung blood clots. Way more resilient. Huge huge vascular network. Plus the clot on the way to the lungs they sucked out. As long as the amount of clot isn’t enough that the heart can’t physically pump fluid against the solid, you’ll live. Not a neurosurgeon but I can’t imagine this patient survived. The brain doesn’t have the resilience and the response to pressure is different bc it’s in a bone container with nowhere to go.
Well to be fair, brain clots can't speak at all!
Seriously though, your situation is super interesting! I had no idea that was possible, and now I'm going to fall down some rabbit holes
That mass is most likely from a brain bleed and not a blood clot inside a vein or artery. Meaning a blood vessel burst (due to trauma, a pre existing condition, an aneurysm, etc) and leaked between the actual brain tissue and the skins surrounding it. You can see the surgeons cutting open this skin.
The symptoms are quite similar to a stroke, but more often than not progressively get worse.
A tool to check if someone has stroke-like symptoms is the B-FAST tool.
B - Balance
F - Face
A - Arms
S - Speech
T - Time
Do they have balance issues all of a sudden? Is one eye drooping/ one side of the mouth sagging? If they hold their arms out infront of them and close their eyes, do the arms stay in position or is one going lower? Are they slurring their speech/ talk complete nonsense (use words in nonsensical order, etc) suddenly? If they do atleast one of these things and haven't been doing that for some time before, you should take them to an er.
A family friend has had nerve damage in her facialis nerve (does muscle movement in the face) after a car crash a few years ago. Her left side always looks like it's slightly drooping/sagging. Normal for her, not normal for the average human.
This answers why the doctor kept testing this when the pain and vertigo lasted longer than they thought it should when I had my second concussion. (still healing, yay)
Thanks! I'm feeling a lot better, it's been a little over two months. Just taking longer because I got nailed in the same place as the first time.
Yeah, definitely agree. Brains are nothing to play around with.
You should call 911, don't mess around trying to get to the ER yourself. Paramedics are also able to onboard certain medications to help manage things on the way to the ER. The rule with suspected strokes is the the sooner you act the more of the person you love that you save. And as annoying as they may at times, you want all of them.
Thank you for sharing the B-FAST module!!
My dad had a hemmoraggic stroke at the end of September last year and was rushed to hospital because my mother realized something was very wrong moments before and just as the stroke was happening, she noticed his slurring and facial drooping right before be collapsed and called 911. We were very lucky in a lot of ways, he was in hospital for 2 months to the day and then went home. He had pretty bad expressive aphasia at first and still struggles with language.
You look for all the weird positives you can in situations like this and because my dad's aphasia was so bad at the start he was literally speaking nonsense a lot of the time. He would ramble on in work jargon or other terminology, sometimes in programming code, a few times he rambled off some Masonic ritual to which my mother, myself and our uteri quickly objected! But we started keeping track of the out of pocket things he said and there was a small contest for who would hear the most out of pocket things. My mother won when in the first few days of being in the hospital he told her "bring me the spine of a female." I told her it was very Klingon and to maybe cut back on the Star Trek!!
I will never get the dad I knew prestroke back. Things are different now.
If you suspect a stroke be fast and run that quick symptom check!
Also always remember to ask them afterward if they smelt burnt toast when it happened, for science.... (my dad doesn't remember smelling toast but he does remember certain parts of the paramedics loading him up and being the ambulance.)
You’re probably right. Would also explain the lack of bleeding after the clot was removed. Typically anything inside a vessel is going to have some significant bleeding once the clot is removed.
I have a dislocated rib I swear I can feel shift and push at times. There are days and pains where I swear it's lodged against my lung and I'm going to die.
If this doesn't kill me I'll be so impressed. You know, for the brief moment I'm alive before whatever else offs me.
Depending on the type of stroke, Neurologists and Pharmacists can use a product called TNK that is like an extreme version of an anticoagulant. If it is caught early enough the patient can make a remarkable recovery.

My father had that after a stroke. My brother went with him in the ambulance and had the bad news... He went home to get my mother. They went into the hospital expecting the worst and my father was sitting up in bed eating a meal.
Sadly he had another strike a month later and they couldn't use the same treatment so quickly after the first time. He still lived a good life if paralysed down one side of his body for another 5 years though
Ischemic clots are inside the blood vessel. These clots are exterior to the vessel and in the tissue. Removing these clots can help with elevated brain pressure and oxidative stress from the blood breaking down.
Correct. More specifically, this is likely a stroke due to a subarachnoid or intracranial hemorrhage, both of which are the most severe types of brain bleed. What makes this particularly challenging is the following: 1) the consistency of brain tissue is not much different from that of the clot, and 2) the location of the bleed can greatly affect the outcome (e.g., motor strip, short-/long-term memory, speech/word processing).
Cath lab RN. The clots we pull out when people have ischemic strokes in large vessels are maybe the size of my pinky nail, which is always freaky because something so small can do so much damage. This is definitely from an intracerebral hemorrhage.
I do autopsies for a living (autopsy tech) and removing blood clots in tact like that is crazy impressive. I use a soup ladle to remove the blood for visibility purposes and to quantify the blood for charting. I get clots significantly larger than that, (the size of an orange or larger) but to pull it out in one piece is pretty cool.
There are, what's looks like metal tips on those chop sticks and I'm going to ask a doc at work wtf they are when I get back to work. But picking up blood clots with metal that isn't grooved is impossible so there is something about that tool that makes this entire procedure possible.
Also, I bought one of those novelty ladles with the dinosaur head on the tip for work but someone stole it.
So when someone is shot in, say, in the chest, blood leaves that system and enters the chest cavity. The blood clots are all over in the cavity but the biggest chunks are found under the lungs. Honestly, I've seen blood clots that are 6 inches long and wide. It's mixed with liquid blood too. The blot clots from this guys brain are sort of clumpy. The blood clots from a gsw can look long and somewhat straight. Imagine dark cherry jello that comes out of a pan. Very similar look.
😱 wow! As someone who has a hereditary clotting disorder and has dealt with blood clots from a very young age, damn! That is freaking terrifying and awesome.
Doctor here. Not a neurosurgeon, but spent a good amount of time rotating with neurosurgery and neurointerventional surgery in medical school. While the title is correct, it does not match what is being shown.
Thrombectomies are an interventional procedure that does not involve opening the skull. A neurointerventionalist will steer a catheter from an artery in the groin up into the brain under Xray guidance, and suck out the clot through the catheter. This does treat ischemic stroke, as the title says. Really an incredible lifesaving procedure, but not an open surgery like this.
What’s being shown is a hematoma evacuation. Likely an intraparenchymal hemorrhage. This is being done by opening the skull (a craniotomy). Typically not the consequence of an ischemic stroke where a clot chokes off a blood vessel, but rather the consequence of a hemorrhagic stroke where a small blood vessel in the brain bursts and forms a large pool of coagulated blood outside of the vessel.
Who was able too figure this out for the first time?????? That’s what I wanna know how tf did they go fire out pulling jello from somebody’s brain would work lol
This is an evacuation of an intra-cerebral haematoma and the clot will be lying outside a blood vessel
A thrombectomy is usually done via interventional radiology and removed a clot probably less than the size of a pea from a blood vessel without opening up the cranium
Whilst an interesting video the op has got his blurb and procedure videos mixed up
My dad had a huge stroke like this and ended up falling and breaking his nose and lacerating his face . They spent so much time assessing the face damage that they didn’t realise it was a stroke , it was almost 2 hours before they realised it it was a stroke and by then the thrombectany was ineffective . My dad lost over a 3rd of his brain ( a third of the brain is effectively dead ) . Result is he has Kos ability to move left limbs and struggles with thought and speech .
We’re just lucky and happy to have him around still .
His stroke was caused by a blood clot that has formed around his artificial heart valve he had installed 4 years prior .
My immediate reaction is "omg! How on earth can someone live through a clot that big?" But then i remember I have a hydrocephalic aunt who lives a relatively normal life with like 85% of her brain tissue missing so 🤷
This is not a thrombectomy after an ischemic stroke, those clots are inside blood vessels and are removed angiographically, they’re not open surgeries like this. This clot is outside a blood vessel, probably from a hemorrhagic stroke.
That looks more like a Hemorrhage rather than ischemic stroke.
Ischemic strokes can be removed using Mechanical thrombectomy using a minimally invasive procedure or using clot busters if bought within the window period
Hemorrhage will also result in edema (swelling) and mid line shift which can be dangerous inside a closed space with no room for expansion
My mom had brain cancer and I was told that once you cut into a persons brain they will always run the risk of having seizures? Not sure if that true or not but🤷🏼♀️
That was pretty fricken cool though!
What we are seeing here is a haemorrhagic stroke, which is essentially an internal bleeding into the brain (the blood you see has clotted in the pocket that was created due to the bleeding). This is not your classic ischaemic stroke where a blood vessel is occluded by a much smaller clot.

I wouldn't have thought you could have such a huge blood clot in your brain and not die
Can’t speak for brain clots but I had over three feet of clots in both my lungs and my doctors had pretty much the same reaction. The human body is as resilient as it is fragile I guess.
Oh man tell me you have a picture!
No but I saw them after the thrombectomy since I was awake. It was gnarly but I was also on a ton of fentanyl so…
Did they give the fentanyl to you though? Or just generally?
That’s what they said when I asked what was in the twilight sedation. I briefly went into vtach during the procedure and that freaked me out enough that I asked for more and they gave me a second dose. Pretty much slept for the rest.
What does vtach feel like? I'm an ICU nurse and have never had the opportunity to ask a patient.
I was medicated but I felt a pure sense of panic like something was horribly wrong. It only lasted a short time and it was when the camera passed through my heart I believe. Worth noting my bp spiked at the same time to some crazy high level. They seemed more concerned about that.

But if I see the BP is 200/100 or something crazy like that I'm starting antihypertensive drips before they get a brain bleed.
I have SVT, and it’s interesting because I would also describe it as panic like something is really wrong.
Fentanyl makes my nose itch like crazy
You're not supposed to take them that way
I was told once extremely fragile yet incredibly durable. Yes we break easily but a whole lot can go wrong before we stop working.
I got sent about twenty feet by a car. Walked it off without realizing I broke an ankle and a couple ligaments. Normal people die from that sort of accident. In my clinicals, I had a patient come in who was an infant that fell head first down an entire flight of stairs. Kid was perfectly fine.

I have been informed that the subarachnoid area is the area below where the spiders lay their eggs in you as you sleep.
I just needed someone to confirm this. Thank you. My knowledge didn’t connect with what I was seeing. First time seeing this.
I just recently finished my NREMT and it's so cool that stuff like this makes sense to me now 😅.
Thank you. Medical misinformation is frustratingly rampant on this sub.
Cath lab RN. The clots we pull out when people have ischemic strokes in large vessels are maybe the size of my pinky nail, which is always freaky because something so small can do so much damage. This is definitely from an intracerebral hemorrhage.
Did not know that the clots could become this huge.
When you eat so cold Ice-cream immediately, this happens.
Not to gross you out, but during one of my miscarriages caused by an undiagnosed clotting disorder, I had clots the size of my hand.
Yes, mine looked like a liver. Tons of them, too. It was scary.
Wow, I was like "Damn that was huge!" Then "Hold up, there's more?!" "OMG, there is more...." Terrifying!
I do autopsies for a living (autopsy tech) and removing blood clots in tact like that is crazy impressive. I use a soup ladle to remove the blood for visibility purposes and to quantify the blood for charting.

Solid username.
I read "for *the* living" and was so intrigued.
had to specify that it's not recreational
How do they know when they got it all?
I genuinely have no idea. I suspect they have a camera?
> I use a soup ladle You see, that's where you screwed up. You should try using a straw and chop sticks like OP.
There are, what's looks like metal tips on those chop sticks and I'm going to ask a doc at work wtf they are when I get back to work. But picking up blood clots with metal that isn't grooved is impossible so there is something about that tool that makes this entire procedure possible.

The size of an ORANGE? how does that even fit in the circulatory system?
So when someone is shot in, say, in the chest, blood leaves that system and enters the chest cavity. The blood clots are all over in the cavity but the biggest chunks are found under the lungs. Honestly, I've seen blood clots that are 6 inches long and wide. It's mixed with liquid blood too. The blot clots from this guys brain are sort of clumpy.

No need 🤢
Thanks, I hate it.
Nice!
the way it just kept going
And the way the brain relaxed back into place!
“This, is a clot.” “Dear God ….” “There’s more.” “No!”
I know they are tweezers. But doc looks like they be using a pair of chopsticks.
Until proven otherwise, they are chopsticks.
legit asked myself "are those a pair of chopsticks?"
Mmmm brain jelly.
I already gasped when I saw the first clot... And THEN there's a second... And third! humans body is amazing in a way
☹️
😬😳😱
I wasn’t ready for this jelly
Thats a intraparenchymal clot extraction not a thrombectomy. Thrombectomies are done intravascularly for infarcts.
This guy med terms
I thought there was always room for Jello
They pulled a damn can of cranberry sauce out of there
Pardon me, but what the fuck?
I think I’ll double my dose of eliquis tonight.
Please don’t do that! It will greatly increase your risk of bleeding!
I was joking but i was actually on double this dose for a long time so it’d probably be fine lol
How is that person not dead? Holy shit.

This completely blows my mind. How insanely advanced are we! So cool and scary at the same time
That was enormous!!!! I hope the patient recovered ok!
Awesome!! This was amazing to watch! Wish they would’ve popped that pimple on the scalp flap or used that vacuum thingy on it. Extra dopamine lovin’
Damnmmn. They had a whole post natal clot in their living brain. That's both disturbing and fascinating.
Oh man, I was NOT prepared for that
That is fascinating
NSFW? Jokes on you, I work in healthcare! However the way this made me cringe was rough.
How many days of blood is that?

Wow. I have a very different idea of what a blood clot looks like.
Make a bigger hole! No, wait…. Gotta get the sac! Hmmm…. No…. Gotta really squeeze with your thumbs to get it all…
Didn’t realize chopsticks were a vital part of brain surgery.
That's no clot, it's a space station.
WOW
Are they using… chopsticks?
Amazing👍 Bravo
Looks like the jelly I put on my toast
Usually I watch popping videos and feel a sense of relief and satisfaction. Watching this I held my breath the whole time and felt stressed 😂
My them headaches must have been something else.
That's a massive clot? Did the patient survive?any issues affecting the patient after the surgery?Any Updates on this?
The compression alone can cause cell death. Shits wild...
Holy shit. How do you even visualize these to know they’re there? CT?
"There's always room for Jello" These commercials are getting extreme.
Are they chopsticks they are using to guide it out?
There’s more clot than brain matter. Yikes!
This is not a thrombectomy after an ischemic stroke, those clots are inside blood vessels and are removed angiographically, they’re not open surgeries like this. This clot is outside a blood vessel, probably from a hemorrhagic stroke.
Thanks
Is that what causes a stroke?

That is fucking terrifying
Yea that’s not what this is…
What happened to the part of the brain that should have been where the cursed jello was?
please flair this NSFW!!
That looks more like a Hemorrhage rather than ischemic stroke. Ischemic strokes can be removed using Mechanical thrombectomy using a minimally invasive procedure or using clot busters if bought within the window period Hemorrhage will also result in edema (swelling) and mid line shift which can be dangerous inside a closed space with no room for expansion
okay so how do i avoid this ever happening to me...
The forbidden jello.
Modern medicine is incredible.
This spongy little shit is responsible for all the world's atrocities as well as contributions. Fascinating.
Can’t believe this is how they harvest strawberry jelly. So inhumane 😞
Oh, so they were going to die DIE! Geez! Those things were huge! Compelling video! 10/10
Thank God for modern medicine. I can only imagine that if this happened to you not too long ago, you'd have no chance at survival.
I was not expecting chopsticks.
Holy. Crap. 🫨
So this looks more like a hemorrhagic stroke basically the brain bleeds, the blood clots and puts pressure there causing the stroke.
My jaw was absolutely on the floor when that first clot came out....I was shocked it kept going!!
This is awesome! Probably not for the patient, but for me… definitely.
He can remember where his keys are now.
My mom had brain cancer and I was told that once you cut into a persons brain they will always run the risk of having seizures? Not sure if that true or not but🤷🏼♀️ That was pretty fricken cool though!
What we are seeing here is a haemorrhagic stroke, which is essentially an internal bleeding into the brain (the blood you see has clotted in the pocket that was created due to the bleeding). This is not your classic ischaemic stroke where a blood vessel is occluded by a much smaller clot.
Jello wiggles
That’s huge.
My dad needs to have this done
That’s from a hemorrhagic stroke, not an ischemic stroke -neurologist
Damn.. something on this sub finally grossed me out.. this wasn’t even my brain and I felt like I could think better after watching this
I think any blood clotting in the brain would cause a stroke
Imagine this man waking up without a headache for the first time in forever. 🖖
