EmboTrap device for large stroke blockages
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a specific clot-removal device (EmboTrap II) works well for acute stroke caused by a large artery blockage. It may help restore blood flow faster in people who have certain scan patterns and can be treated within 12 hours.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be able to give consent (or a legal process for consent must be completed).
- Your scan must show a large artery blockage in specific brain blood vessel locations (front or back, near the start).
- Your brain scan score (ASPECTS) must be 6 or higher.
- Your scans must show either a mismatch pattern or good natural blood flow “collaterals” (on MR, multi-phase CTA, or CT perfusion).
- The procedure to access the groin (groin puncture) must happen within 12 hours of when symptoms started.
- This clot-removal device must be used as the first or second treatment option.

This trial studies whether a mechanical procedure to remove a blocked artery can help people with an ischemic stroke caused by a large artery blockage, even when treatment starts 24–72 hours after symptoms began. It also checks that only patients with “salvageable” brain tissue on CT scans are treated.
This trial tests a new catheter device to remove blood clots from smaller brain arteries in people having a stroke. It aims to see if the device is safe and effective for patients treated within 24 hours of symptoms starting.
This study looks at patients who had an ischemic stroke (a type of stroke caused by a blood clot) more than 24 hours ago and have a blockage in a large brain artery. It compares outcomes for those who get a procedure to remove the clot versus those who get only medical treatment.
This study looks at how well a special catheter system works to remove blood clots from smaller arteries in the brain after a stroke. It aims to see if this treatment helps people recover better.
This trial tests a new catheter (Super-Bore 8/7F) to remove blood clots in people having a major stroke caused by a blocked large artery in the brain. The goal is to see if it is safe and effective at restoring blood flow when used within 24 hours of stroke symptoms starting.
This study tests a new device called Ceretrieve that is designed to remove blood clots from large arteries in the brain for people having a severe ischemic stroke. If you are eligible, you will receive the device treatment (a mechanical thrombectomy) within 24 hours of your first symptoms.
