Should you be concerned about strokes? Today’s ScienceDaily reported in an article on Brain Surgery Without The Surgery…that every 45 seconds, another American has a stroke, caused either by a blocked or burst blood vessel in the brain. And every three minutes, one of them will die.

They added the good news that “doctors can do more than ever to find and fix the problems that cause many strokes -- before a stroke ever happens. And they can do it without ever having to open up the skull.”

How so? “New technologies, delivered to the brain via the bloodstream and guided by more powerful brain scans, are making it easier to clear up clogged blood vessels inside our heads, or shore up weakened ones.

Doctors call it brain surgery without the surgery, and University of Michigan Health System doctors who perform such procedures on hundreds of patients a year, have observed  it's allowing many patients to reduce their risk of a stroke -- including those who wouldn't be able to withstand a brain operation.
