Clot removal for mild stroke due to large artery blockage
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether removing a blood clot from a large brain artery (using a catheter through the groin) can help people with mild stroke symptoms. It is for patients whose stroke started within the last 24 hours and who have a blockage in the front part of the brain's blood supply.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- It has been less than 24 hours since your stroke symptoms began or you were last seen well.
- You have a mild stroke (NIHSS score less than 6, or it started higher but improved).
- A CT or MRI scan shows a blockage in a large artery inside your brain (like the internal carotid or middle cerebral artery).
- You had no significant disability before this stroke (you were mostly independent).

This trial tests a procedure to remove a large blood clot in the brain (mechanical thrombectomy) for people who have a very large stroke. It aims to see if removing the clot can improve recovery, even for those with severe strokes.
This trial tests a procedure called endovascular thrombectomy (clot removal through a catheter) for people with very large strokes. It aims to see if removing the clot can help even when a large part of the brain is already damaged.
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 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 large brain arteries in people who have had a severe stroke. It may help reduce disability even when the stroke is extensive and was discovered up to 24 hours after symptoms began.
This trial tests if removing clots from smaller arteries in the brain (not the main ones) helps people who had a stroke and can't get standard clot-busting medicine. It compares clot removal to usual care for strokes caused by these medium-sized vessel blockages.
