Using a stent-retriever to open brain blood vessels after bleeding
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a mechanical device to widen brain arteries that remain narrowed after standard treatment for bleeding around the brain. It may help people whose blood vessels are not opening enough with medication alone.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 19 or older
- You have had bleeding around the brain (subarachnoid hemorrhage) and now have narrowed brain arteries that did not improve with standard care
- Your doctor has confirmed the narrowing on an angiogram
- You agree to take part and sign the consent form

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 study tests a safer, lower-intensity balloon procedure to improve blood flow in people whose brain arteries are narrowed and who recently had a stroke. It aims to reduce the chance of another stroke by restoring flow while minimizing procedure-related risks.
This trial tests a new balloon catheter to open up severely narrowed arteries in the brain. It may help reduce your risk of stroke.
This trial is testing an interventional treatment for people who have severe narrowing (70-99%) in a major brain artery that has caused a stroke or mini-stroke in the past year. The goal is to see if this treatment can help prevent future strokes.
This trial tests an endovascular procedure (a minimally invasive catheter-based treatment delivered through blood vessels) combined with a heart medication called milrinone to treat cerebral vasospasm—dangerous blood vessel narrowing that can occur after a ruptured brain aneurysm. The goal is to improve neurological recovery and prevent stroke.
This trial looks back at patients who had a procedure to reopen a major artery in the brain that had been blocked for a long time. It will help doctors learn if this treatment is safe and effective for people with chronic blockages in certain key arteries.
