A Co Down man has opened up about suffering a stroke almost six years ago and how he believes a life-saving thrombectomy should always be available for anyone who needs it.
Paul McLean, 46, from Magheralin had a stroke one Saturday morning in June 2016 while he was at home with his wife Suzanne.
He was treated using a revolutionary procedure known as a thrombectomy - which involves inserting a small tool into the brain to remove the blood clot causing the stroke.
