00:00:03.236 --> 00:00:06.239
>> To Carmel companies are

00:00:06.306 --> 00:00:07.874
helping make history and

00:00:07.941 --> 00:00:11.077
stroke treatment. Nationwide

00:00:11.144 --> 00:00:12.412
clinical trial is the first in

00:00:12.479 --> 00:00:13.580
the world to show positive

00:00:13.646 --> 00:00:14.481
results for treating the

00:00:14.547 --> 00:00:16.082
deadliest form of stroke. In

00:00:16.149 --> 00:00:16.983
the surgical device was

00:00:17.050 --> 00:00:18.284
created and tested right here

00:00:18.351 --> 00:00:19.219
in central Indiana. Business

00:00:19.285 --> 00:00:21.221
of health reporter Kylie

00:00:21.287 --> 00:00:22.355
Veleta is here with more.

00:00:22.422 --> 00:00:25.592
Caileigh?

00:00:25.658 --> 00:00:26.493
>> Thank you Mary-Rachel,

00:00:26.559 --> 00:00:27.193
treating hemorrhagic stroke

00:00:27.260 --> 00:00:31.731
has been a thorn in the side

00:00:31.798 --> 00:00:35.135
of neurosurgery for decades.

00:00:35.201 --> 00:00:36.302
About half the patients die

00:00:36.369 --> 00:00:39.672
within 30 days and surgeons

00:00:39.739 --> 00:00:40.840
felt like there's little they

00:00:40.907 --> 00:00:42.008
can do. That's because the

00:00:42.075 --> 00:00:43.143
vessel that bursts is deep

00:00:43.209 --> 00:00:44.244
within the brain rather than

00:00:44.310 --> 00:00:45.345
on the surface, aching the

00:00:45.412 --> 00:00:46.279
clot extremely difficult to

00:00:46.346 --> 00:00:47.447
get to and remove without

00:00:47.514 --> 00:00:48.381
causing brain damage. Carmel

00:00:48.448 --> 00:00:51.785
based startup NICO Corporation

00:00:51.851 --> 00:00:52.986
created the Brain Path device,

00:00:53.052 --> 00:00:53.887
and worked with Goodman

00:00:53.953 --> 00:00:55.054
Campbell Brain and Spine, also

00:00:55.121 --> 00:00:56.456
based in Carmel, to develop

00:00:56.523 --> 00:01:01.428
the minimally invasive tool.

00:01:01.494 --> 00:01:02.529
Is designed to slide between

00:01:02.595 --> 00:01:03.897
the fold of the brain to

00:01:03.963 --> 00:01:04.564
preserve critical tissue

00:01:04.631 --> 00:01:05.498
rather than cutting through

00:01:05.565 --> 00:01:07.467
the brain. NICO myriad device

00:01:07.534 --> 00:01:08.635
that uses suction to remove

00:01:08.701 --> 00:01:11.738
the clot. The company recently

00:01:11.805 --> 00:01:12.872
announced that in a nationwide

00:01:12.939 --> 00:01:14.040
trial with 300 patients, the

00:01:14.107 --> 00:01:16.109
method shows results that are

00:01:16.176 --> 00:01:17.043
better than curren standard

00:01:17.110 --> 00:01:20.847
of care, and improved outcomes

00:01:20.914 --> 00:01:21.548
of hemorrhagic stroke

00:01:21.614 --> 00:01:22.482
patients. Led by Doctor

00:01:22.549 --> 00:01:23.917
Charles Kulwin, Goodman

00:01:23.983 --> 00:01:25.084
Campbell was one of the

00:01:25.151 --> 00:01:26.019
largest contributors to the

00:01:26.085 --> 00:01:27.153
study, using the device to

00:01:27.220 --> 00:01:28.988
treat dozens of Hoosiers

00:01:29.055 --> 00:01:32.192
>> For the first time we have

00:01:32.258 --> 00:01:34.093
a study that showed we have a

00:01:34.160 --> 00:01:35.595
way to go in minimally, less

00:01:35.662 --> 00:01:42.235
invasive remote procedure to

00:01:42.302 --> 00:01:44.070
remove the blood effectively

00:01:44.137 --> 00:01:47.273
and get out. And not only

00:01:47.340 --> 00:01:47.974
accomplish successful surgery,

00:01:48.041 --> 00:01:52.612
but results in patients were

00:01:52.679 --> 00:01:54.013
less disabled in the long run

00:01:54.080 --> 00:01:55.381
and are less likely to die

00:01:55.448 --> 00:01:56.683
from stroke in the long run.

00:01:56.749 --> 00:01:57.617
That's totally new. That's

00:01:57.684 --> 00:01:58.852
never been shown in any of the

00:01:58.918 --> 00:01:59.419
large surgical trials that

00:01:59.486 --> 00:01:59.986
have been done in the past.

00:02:00.053 --> 00:02:00.620
>> Before the study, the

00:02:00.687 --> 00:02:02.789
standard treatment for

00:02:02.856 --> 00:02:03.957
hemorrhagic stroke was not to

00:02:04.023 --> 00:02:05.291
go in and remove the blood,

00:02:05.358 --> 00:02:06.426
often waiting weeks for the

00:02:06.493 --> 00:02:08.628
blood to reabsorb. Searches

00:02:08.695 --> 00:02:09.762
believe this trial shows hope

00:02:09.829 --> 00:02:10.630
for patients beyond just

00:02:10.697 --> 00:02:12.031
waiting out the lead.

00:02:12.098 --> 00:02:13.166
>> That is unbelievable, and

00:02:13.233 --> 00:02:14.567
that was done right here in

00:02:14.634 --> 00:02:19.606
central Indiana.

00:02:19.672 --> 00:02:20.974
>> That's right, this was a

00:02:21.040 --> 00:02:21.941
nationwide clinical trial with

00:02:22.008 --> 00:02:22.842
global implications, but the

00:02:22.909 --> 00:02:25.478
device was created right here

00:02:25.545 --> 00:02:26.179
in Indianapolis. Goodman

00:02:26.246 --> 00:02:27.313
Campbell has been involved in

00:02:27.380 --> 00:02:28.481
helping to develop this device

00:02:28.548 --> 00:02:29.849
since more than a decade ago

00:02:29.916 --> 00:02:32.252
so you have local innovators,

00:02:32.318 --> 00:02:32.919
local neurosurgeons, really

00:02:32.986 --> 00:02:34.087
making a huge impact and

00:02:34.153 --> 00:02:36.456
really all this work willing

00:02:36.523 --> 00:02:37.857
up into one of the landmark

00:02:37.924 --> 00:02:38.758
neurosurgical trials in years

00:02:38.825 --> 00:02:40.593
and this was all homegrown.

00:02:40.660 --> 00:02:42.228
>> So obviously this is a huge

00:02:42.295 --> 00:02:43.196
breakthrough, did they think

00:02:43.263 --> 00:02:45.765
this will lead to other

00:02:45.832 --> 00:02:47.166
breakthroughs in other places?

00:02:47.233 --> 00:02:50.003
Other than the brain.

00:02:50.069 --> 00:02:52.405
>> Is an area of the brain

00:02:52.472 --> 00:02:53.573
that has never been reached

00:02:53.640 --> 00:02:57.911
before. Before, they could get

00:02:57.977 --> 00:02:59.279
to the center of the brain,

00:02:59.345 --> 00:03:00.413
remove the clot, but they

00:03:00.480 --> 00:03:01.347
always damaged tissue doing

00:03:01.414 --> 00:03:02.682
it, this is the first trial

00:03:02.749 --> 00:03:04.050
they showed that they can get

00:03:04.117 --> 00:03:05.385
to the center of the brain

00:03:05.451 --> 00:03:06.452
without damaging tissue, what
