Removing blood clots from medium front-brain arteries after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a procedure called mechanical thrombectomy to remove blood clots from medium-sized arteries in the front of the brain. It may help people who had a stroke from a blockage in these vessels, potentially improving recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stroke caused by a blocked artery in the front part of your brain.
- The blocked artery is large enough for a doctor to reach with a thin tube to remove the clot.
- The blockage is in one of these areas: the anterior cerebral artery (A1 to A3) or the middle cerebral artery (distal M2 or M3).
- The stroke is not in the back part of the brain (posterior circulation).
- There is no complete blockage of the main neck artery (carotid artery) on the same side.

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.
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 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 whether giving a clot-dissolving medication directly into the brain's blood vessels during a standard procedure (mechanical thrombectomy) can improve outcomes for people with a stroke caused by a blockage in a medium-sized artery. It may be an option for patients who arrive at the hospital within 24 hours of symptom onset and have enough salvageable brain tissue.
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.
