Triage approach for certain strokes from blocked large brain arteries
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies a way to sort and treat people with a specific type of acute ischemic stroke (caused by a blockage in a large brain artery). It may help doctors choose the best next steps—either a procedure or medication—faster and more appropriately.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were admitted to the hospital between Jan 1, 2018 and Jan 1, 2028
- You are 18 years or older
- Your stroke was confirmed on a CT or MRI scan
- Your scans show a blockage in a large brain artery (like ICA, MCA, ACA, basilar, vertebral, or PCA)
- You are being treated with either a procedure (endovascular therapy) or best medical treatment (medicines/supportive care)

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 trial tests whether going straight to the procedure room for clot removal can speed up treatment for people having a severe stroke caused by a blocked large artery in the brain. It aims to see if this faster approach improves recovery compared to usual care.
This trial tests whether early treatment (using a catheter to open the blocked artery) can help people with a stroke caused by a blockage in the internal carotid artery. The goal is to improve recovery and reduce disability.
This trial tests a procedure called endovascular therapy (a way to remove the blood clot using a catheter) for people with a severe stroke caused by a large blockage in the back of the brain. The goal is to see if this treatment can improve outcomes compared to standard care.
This trial tests endovascular therapy (a procedure to remove a clot through a tube in an artery) versus medical management for people with a severe stroke due to a blockage in the back part of the brain (basilar artery) and a large area of brain damage. The goal is to see if the procedure improves outcomes compared to medication alone.
This trial tests a new way to treat strokes caused by blockages in medium-sized brain arteries within 24 hours of symptom onset. It uses brain imaging to select patients who might benefit from a procedure to remove the clot.
