Clot Removal for Worsening Mild Stroke
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older
- You had a mild stroke (NIHSS score less than 6) that then got worse within 7 days
- Imaging (CTA or MRA) shows a blockage in a large artery in your brain (internal carotid artery or M1 segment of middle cerebral artery)
- Your brain scan shows a certain amount of salvageable brain tissue and not too much damage (core infarct <50ml, mismatch ratio ≥1.8, mismatch volume >15ml)
- You are not pregnant, do not have uncontrolled high blood pressure or blood sugar, and do not have a bleeding disorder or recent major bleeding/surgery

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies whether an endovascular (catheter-based) procedure to treat a certain type of blocked artery can improve outcomes for people who already had trouble functioning before their stroke. You may be considered if your stroke is confirmed early and your scans show the right type and location of blockage.
This study tests whether a minimally invasive procedure to remove a large blood clot from the main artery at the back of the brain can help people who have had a severe stroke. It aims to improve recovery and reduce disability.
This trial tests a procedure to remove a blood clot from the main artery at the back of the brain (basilar artery) in people who have a large stroke. The goal is to see if this treatment can improve recovery even when the stroke damage is bigger than usual.
This trial compares a procedure to remove the blockage (endovascular therapy) with the best medications alone for people who have a mild stroke caused by a large blocked artery in the brain. The goal is to see if the procedure can improve recovery better than medicine alone.
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 tests whether removing a clot from a medium-sized brain artery using a minimally invasive procedure (catheter) can improve recovery after a stroke. It's for people who cannot get standard clot-busting medicine and whose stroke started within the last day.
