Yale New Haven Hospital (YNHH) aims to provide the highest quality of stroke care using national standard performance measures. This report shows the percent of patients provided selected treatments compared to patients at other Connecticut hospitals and New England hospitals.
The national benchmark goal is > to 85% compliance with each measure. YNHH’s goal is 95% or greater compliance.

Yale New Haven Hospital’s stroke program monitors outcomes for selected ischemic stroke patients who undergo emergency neuro-interventions.
From January through December 2023, YNHH performed approximately 190 emergency thrombectomy procedures. This procedure removes a blood clot from a major blood vessel in the brain by using a clot-retrieving catheter; 88% of patients had meaningful improvement of blood flow to their brain.
