Gurnee man's life-saving stroke surgery one of many that led to a new medical device gain FDA approval in U.S.
More than two years after a stroke nearly killed him, Gurnee resident Bob Metcalf, 65, is doing the things he loves and enjoying his retirement.
"It's extra gratifying," Metcalf said after learning the device had been sanctioned."This might be something that could help a lot of other people." In about an hour, Metcalf was taken to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville and then flown to Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge for emergency surgery.
Metcalf was among 23 patients to enroll in the clinical trial at Advocate Health Care, which was recognized as a top-enrolling site in the trial. The Advocate Health Care research team also was recently recognized for stroke care excellence for the PRESET device trial at the American Heart Association's 2023 International Stroke Conference.
