TIRANA, August 27 /ATA/ Starting today, mechanical thrombectomy is available at Mother Teresa University Hospital Center (QSUNT). Funded by the Ministry of Health and Social Protection, this milestone expands and modernizes Albania’s interventional neuroradiology services.
With a new biplanar angiograph and dedicated interventional radiology suite, doctors can now diagnose and treat acute ischemic stroke, aneurysms, and other cerebrovascular conditions using advanced endovascular procedures like digital subtraction angiography (DSA).
During an inspection of the new medical unit, Health Minister Evis Sala highlighted the 24-hour service now available at the QSUNT.
“Starting today, citizens have access to a new mechanical thrombectomy program for ischemic strokes. This integrated neuroradiology service combines modern diagnostic equipment with interventional treatment”, she said.
Minister Sala noted that the facility also treats other vascular conditions, such as aneurysms, which were previously untreatable at the hospital. She emphasized that the upgrade includes advanced technology alongside a fully trained team of specialists, nurses and technicians to ensure high-quality care.
QSUNT is expanding its specialized care with major medical upgrades in 2026. These new tools bring faster, safer and more advanced treatments to Albania.
