Javier Lagos Servellón

Javier Lagos Servellón is a vascular interventional neurologist at Hospital Mario Catarino Rivas in San Pedro Sula, Honduras. He recently gained recognition for performing the first mechanical thrombectomy in the public health system of Honduras, a significant advancement in the treatment of neurological emergencies. This minimally invasive procedure is critical for extracting clots that block cerebral arteries, particularly when traditional thrombolytic medications are ineffective. Dr. Lagos emphasizes the importance of timely intervention for stroke patients and advocates for public awareness regarding the symptoms of strokes to enhance survival and recovery outcomes.
