Boston Scientific announced a definitive agreement to acquire Penumbra in a cash-and-stock deal valued at about $14.5 billion (Penumbra at $374/share), creating a scaled entry into mechanical thrombectomy and neurovascular therapies.

Penumbra reported about $1.4 billion in revenue for 2025. Penumbra stockholders may elect cash or Boston Scientific shares; Adam Elsesser plans to take Boston Scientific stock for all his Penumbra shares.

Stroke Doesn't Discriminate: Stories of Recovery at Different Ages

Bailey Novak, a nurse at Bryan Health, woke up paralyzed on half her body and realized she was having a stroke. She was able to call for help and underwent a thrombectomy at the hospital. Novak is now back to working full-time without any restrictions and is thankful for the support she received from colleagues, friends, and staff at the hospital. Doctors use the acronym "B.E. F.A.S.T" to help people remember what to look for in a stroke: Balance is suddenly lost, Eyes have a sudden change in vision, Face droops or feels weak, Arms or legs suddenly feel weak, Speech sounds slurred or strange, and Time to call 911 to get help as soon as possible.

Younger Patients Experience Increase in Stroke Cases in Utah and Nevada

Brad Coleman, a 36-year-old man from North Ogden, Utah, experienced a stroke last October, highlighting the increase in younger stroke patients. Dr. Melissa McDonald, stroke medical director at Intermountain McKay-Dee Hospital, said that strokes can happen to anyone, and one preventable cause is cracking the neck. The hospital recently received certification from The Joint Commission as the first nationally certified Thrombectomy-Capable Stroke Center in Utah. The thrombectomy procedure involves inserting a catheter in the hip area and guiding it up to the brain to remove the clot. The effects of a stroke depend on several factors, including how quickly it is treated.

Surviving Stroke: Young Woman's Life Saved by Quick Treatment.

Brad Coleman, a 36-year-old stroke victim, received quick and lifesaving treatment at McKay-Dee Hospital in northern Utah. He underwent a mechanical thrombectomy, a special emergency procedure that removed the clot in his brain that was causing the stroke and its symptoms. Due to a successful surgery, all his stroke symptoms were reversed. McKay-Dee Hospital recently became the first nationally certified thrombectomy-capable stroke center in Utah, qualifying the hospital for a specific protocol in which emergency technicians can bypass other hospitals and take patients directly to McKay-Dee for the lifesaving procedure.
