Removing clots from small brain arteries in stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if a procedure called mechanical thrombectomy can safely remove clots from smaller arteries in the front part of the brain after a stroke. The goal is to help restore blood flow and improve recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a stroke caused by a blockage in a small artery in the front part of your brain
- The blockage is in the anterior cerebral artery (ACA) or the middle cerebral artery (MCA), in certain segments
- Your stroke is not in the back part of the brain (posterior circulation)
- You do not have a separate blockage in the internal carotid artery on the same side (tandem lesion)

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 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 trial compares two methods for removing blood clots from arteries in the brain during an acute stroke: aspiration (suction) versus stent retriever (a mesh device). The goal is to see which approach works better for patients treated within 24 hours of stroke symptoms.
This trial compares two approaches for stroke patients who have a second clot in smaller brain vessels after their first clot removal. You'll either receive a procedure to remove the second clot or careful monitoring without additional intervention, depending on what doctors think is best for you.
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 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.
