Valley Baptist Medical Center-Brownsville has installed new equipment to enhance stroke treatment. The bi-plane imaging system enables physicians to treat stroke patients more quickly and efficiently. This technology has been in use at Valley Baptist-Harlingen for several years, but its availability in Brownsville is a recent development.
Previously, patients in the area had to be transferred to Harlingen, a process that took about an hour. The new equipment is expected to improve chances of full recovery for stroke patients. Further details about the new system and its benefits are available from Valley Baptist Medical Center-Brownsville.
The installation of this equipment aims to reduce treatment time, which is critical in stroke cases. More information can be found through the medical center.
