Choosing the best scan for stroke clot removal
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares different scan choices to help doctors decide the best approach for removing a stroke clot. It aims to improve outcomes after emergency stroke treatment by using the right imaging information.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You arrive at the hospital within 24 hours of the last time you were known well
- You have an emergency stroke diagnosed by symptoms and/or scan results
- A stroke screening score called FAST-ED is 4 or higher

This study tests whether a streamlined hospital workflow can reduce the time it takes to reopen blocked blood vessels during very fast stroke treatment. Faster treatment may help more brain tissue be saved by getting endovascular (clot-removal) therapy started sooner.
This trial tests whether emergency clot removal (endovascular therapy) can help people whose mild stroke gets worse within a week. It's for those who have a blockage in a large brain artery and enough healthy brain tissue to save.
This study compares two types of clot/brain-bleeding risk imaging scans to see which better predicts recovery in people with ischemic stroke. If you qualify and get the right timing and scan results, the trial may help doctors choose the best way to predict your prognosis.
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.
This study looks at how well different CT scans can identify which artery is blocked in people having a stroke. It may help doctors choose the best treatment faster.
This trial compares two ways of removing a blood clot from a large artery in the brain during an ischemic stroke. It might help you by finding out which method restores blood flow more safely and effectively.
