Advancing Neurovascular Therapy with Ronen Eckhouse of Rapid Medical
Description
Strokes are caused by blocked blood flow to the brain (ischemic stroke) or sudden bleeding in the brain (hemorrhagic stroke). About 87% of strokes are ischemic with the blockage in the brain usually caused by a piece of plaque or a blood clot.
Like fingerprints, no two strokes are the same. Yet, conventional therapy options are limited and can compromise patient safety. Rapid Medical’s CEO and co-founder, Ronen Eckhouse joins this episode to share how they are bringing critical innovation to tackle ischemic strokes and enable physicians to respond in real-time to the brain’s complex anatomy, helping tailor the procedure to every patient.
Rapid Medical’s uniquely designed stent is hard on the clot but soft on the vessel, this allows physicians to actively adapt to the fragile environment found in the brain. Ronen shares how the company has built value through strong partnerships, a growing patent portfolio, and ultimately helped bring enhanced outcomes for stroke patients in countries across the globe. With a long-term mission to solve big problems and some exciting new innovation on the horizon, Ronen’s journey is one sure to leave you informed and inspired.
