Endovascular treatment for strokes in smaller brain arteries
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a minimally invasive procedure to remove blood clots from smaller arteries deep inside the brain. It may help people with moderate to severe stroke symptoms who can be treated within 24 hours of symptom onset.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have a clot in a medium or small brain artery (not the largest ones).
- Your stroke symptoms must be at least moderate (NIHSS score of 6 or higher).
- You must be able to receive treatment within 24 hours of when symptoms started or you were last seen well.
- You must have had no major disability before this stroke (able to do daily activities without help).
- You or a family member must give permission for the procedure.

This trial tests whether removing a blood clot from a large brain artery is better than standard medical care for people who have a mild stroke (NIHSS score 2-5) but still have symptoms like trouble speaking, weakness, or confusion. It is for patients who can be treated within 24 hours of their last known well time.
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 if a procedure to remove blood clots from brain arteries can help people who had a stroke more than 24 hours ago (up to 30 days). It aims to see if this treatment improves recovery for those with moderate to severe stroke symptoms.
This study looks at how well a procedure to remove blood clots from blocked brain arteries works for people who have had a stroke. It aims to see what factors help people recover better, which could help guide treatment decisions.
This study tests whether a minimally invasive procedure to remove a blood clot from a specific branch of a brain artery (the M2 segment) helps people recover from a stroke better than standard care alone. It is for people who have had a moderate to severe stroke within the past 24 hours and could not get clot-dissolving medicine or it didn't work.
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.
