Using a stent device to widen narrowed brain arteries after a bleed
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to open up narrowed blood vessels in the brain after a bleed. It uses a special stent-like device to physically widen the vessel, which may help improve blood flow and reduce stroke symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 19 years or older
- Have narrowing of the brain's blood vessels that did not improve with standard treatment, and that narrowing is related to bleeding around the brain
- Be willing to sign a consent form to join the study
- Not have significant narrowing of brain vessels that was already present before this event
- Not be in a coma or very deep sleep from the bleeding (Hunt and Hess grade 4 or higher), and not have other serious health problems that make the procedure unsafe

This trial tests a gentler type of angioplasty (a procedure to open a narrowed artery in the brain) to improve blood flow and reduce the risk of another stroke. It is for people who recently had a stroke due to severe narrowing of an artery inside the brain.
This trial studies whether an intracranial stent (a small mesh tube placed inside the brain artery) improves outcomes and safety for people with severe, symptomatic narrowing of brain arteries. It may help if symptoms continue despite antiplatelet medicine or if blood flow to the brain is poor.
This trial tests a new balloon microcatheter to treat narrowed arteries in the brain (a condition called intracranial artery stenosis) that are 70% or more blocked. The device is designed to open the artery and improve blood flow, which may help prevent strokes.
This study tests a new type of expandable stent for people with narrowed arteries in the brain that keep causing strokes or mini-strokes despite medications. The goal is to see if the stent is safe and effective in preventing further events.
This trial compares two treatments for people with a severely narrowed artery inside the brain that has recently caused a mini-stroke or stroke. One treatment uses a tiny mesh tube (stent) to open the artery; the other is medication alone. The goal is to see which approach better helps prevent future strokes.
This trial tests a new balloon catheter that releases a medication to help keep the narrowed arteries in your brain open. It aims to improve blood flow and reduce the risk of future strokes.
