Breathing gas study during clot removal for stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This Phase 2 trial tests whether changing breathing gas (CO₂ level) during a mechanical procedure to remove a brain blood clot can improve outcomes for acute ischemic stroke. It may help by protecting the brain during the clot-removal procedure under general anesthesia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a stroke caused by a large blood-vessel clot in the front part of the brain (a terminal carotid artery or middle cerebral artery M1–M2 area).
- Your care team has already decided you are a candidate for mechanical clot removal (thrombectomy) using general anesthesia (sleep medicine).
- You are not an active smoker.
- You do not have long-term breathing failure that requires oxygen while walking around.
- You are not intubated (a breathing tube) before the procedure; you are able to proceed with the planned anesthesia plan.

This trial compares different types of anesthesia given during mechanical thrombectomy (clot removal) for people who have a severe ischemic stroke from a large artery blockage. Researchers want to see which anesthesia approach leads to better recovery.
This study examines how blood flow in the brain changes after a minimally invasive procedure to remove a blood clot during an acute stroke. The research uses MRI imaging to understand brain recovery patterns and may help improve stroke treatment outcomes.
This trial tests if hyperbaric oxygen therapy (breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber) can help people recover better after having a stroke caused by a large clot in the front part of the brain. It is for people who recently had a clot removal procedure and have some remaining disability but are still awake and aware.
This trial tests whether giving a specific level of oxygen during a procedure to remove a stroke clot improves recovery. It is for people with a moderate to severe stroke in the front part of the brain, treated within 24 hours of symptoms starting.
This trial tests whether giving high-concentration oxygen (normobaric oxygen) during transfer to a hospital that can remove a blood clot can help people with acute ischemic stroke. It is for patients who are being transferred specifically for endovascular therapy (EVT) to remove a large clot in the brain.
This study tests whether hyperbaric oxygen therapy (breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber) can help recovery after emergency clot-removal surgery for large blood vessel strokes. The goal is to see if extra oxygen can reduce brain damage and improve outcomes.
