You would be eligible if you had a large clot stroke in the front part of your brain that was successfully removed within the past 24 hours.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–80 - NCT06051032Recruiting
Comparing balloon vs. suction for clotted dialysis fistulas
This study compares two ways to clear a sudden clot in a dialysis fistula (AVF). It uses either a balloon (to push the clot out) or a suction device (to pull the clot out) to restore blood flow.
Valencia, ValenciaAges 18 years+ - NCT07389460RecruitingPhase 3
Study of a clot-busting drug before thrombectomy for stroke
This trial tests giving a clot-dissolving medicine (rhPro-UK) through a vein before a procedure to remove a large blood clot in the brain. It is for people who had a stroke 4.5 to 24 hours ago and are already scheduled for clot removal. The goal is to see if the medicine helps improve blood flow and outcomes.
Lanzhou, GansuAges 18 years+ - NCT06833827Recruiting
Clot removal vs clot-busting drugs for severe lung clots
This study compares two ways to treat a large blood clot in the lungs that is causing life-threatening symptoms. One method uses a device to remove the clot, the other uses medicine to dissolve it.
Leiden, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT07356284RecruitingPhase 3
Stroke treatment study for blocked arteries with narrowing
This study tests a rescue treatment for people having a major stroke caused by a blocked artery in the brain that also has severe narrowing. If doctors can't fully open the artery with standard clot removal, this study looks at whether additional treatments can help.
Toledo, OhioAges 18–80 - NCT07335341Recruiting

Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07219758Recruiting
Recana device study for leg vein blockages
This trial tests a new device called the Recana Thrombectomy Catheter to clear blockages in the large veins of the legs or pelvis. It might help people with chronic leg swelling, pain, or open sores caused by poor blood flow out of the leg.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT06288906Recruiting
Mechanical Clot Removal for Deep Vein Thrombosis
This trial tests a mechanical device that removes blood clots from deep veins in the pelvis or leg. It may be an option if you have a large clot and are at low risk for bleeding.
Milan, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT07115940Recruiting
Clot removal after 24 hours for stroke patients
This trial tests if removing a large blood clot from the brain up to 3 days after a stroke improves recovery compared to standard medical care alone. It is for patients who have a severe stroke and are otherwise healthy enough for the procedure.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–85 - NCT05286710Recruiting
Thrombectomy treatment for new blood clots in the leg
This trial studies a procedure to remove an acute deep vein blood clot in the leg. It may help restore blood flow faster than standard treatment for certain clot locations.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06987305RecruitingPhase 3
Clot-busting medication before clot removal for late-arriving stroke
This trial tests whether adding a clot-busting medication (rhTNK-tPA) before a clot-removal procedure (thrombectomy) can improve outcomes for people who have a moderate-to-severe stroke and arrive at the hospital 4.5 to 24 hours after symptoms start. It's for those with a large artery blockage but still enough brain tissue that can be saved.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06975696Recruiting
Fusion imaging for stroke clot removal
This trial tests a new imaging technique to help doctors see blood clots more clearly during a procedure to remove them from the brain. It may help patients having a stroke who are already eligible for clot removal.
HelsinkiAges 18 years+ - NCT06961487Enrolling by invitation
Stroke treatment trial for large area brain damage
This trial tests if a procedure to remove a large blood clot from the brain (called a thrombectomy) can help people with severe strokes who have a large damaged area. It is for people who can be treated within 24 hours of their stroke starting.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18–90 - NCT06924996Enrolling by invitation
Thrombectomy for large stroke in back of the brain
This trial is testing whether a clot removal procedure, called endovascular thrombectomy, can help people who have a large stroke in the back part of the brain. To be eligible, the stroke must be from a blocked artery in the base of the skull, and the stroke must be severe and recent.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06871683Enrolling by invitation
Survey of ClotTriever device use in Japan
This trial is a survey that will collect information on all patients in Japan who are treated with the ClotTriever Thrombectomy System, a device used to remove blood clots. The goal is to understand how the device is used and how patients do in real-world practice.
Chuo, ChibaAges Any age - NCT06825897Recruiting
Direct to angiography suite for stroke clot removal
This trial compares two ways to treat severe stroke patients with a large vessel blockage. One way is the standard approach of first imaging you and then deciding. The other way takes you directly to the angiography suite for immediate clot removal by the doctor. The goal is to see if this faster, direct approach helps you get better results.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18 years+ - NCT06752096Recruiting
