Reducing the risk of surgery

The Invention One of the major risks associated with surgery is stroke. In order to minimise the risk of stroke, patients are normally given anti-coagulants like heparin which prevent the blood from forming dangerous clots that could dislodge and block blood flow through arteries, potentially resulting in a pulmonary embolus or stroke (when the...
