Brain clot removal using continuous fluid irrigation
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a system that continuously bathes the brain with fluid to wash away blood after a brain bleed, which may help recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a brain bleed shown on a CT or MRI scan.
- Your doctor thinks active fluid exchange might be right for you.
- You or your legal representative can sign a consent form.
- Treatment can start within 72 hours of when you were last known to be well.

This study looks at patients age 18+ who need a procedure to drain brain fluid after certain brain bleeds (like intraventricular or subarachnoid bleeding, or chronic subdural bleeding) or after ventriculitis. It aims to better understand and improve care for people with these serious conditions.
This trial tests a special catheter system used to drain cerebrospinal fluid (the fluid around the brain and spinal cord) in adults with bleeding into the brain’s fluid spaces. It may help because doctors can use the catheter soon after the bleeding to manage fluid and pressure.
This trial tests whether using a small camera and a tube to very quickly remove a brain bleed through a tiny hole in the skull improves recovery compared to standard medical care. It is for people who have a large, non-traumatic brain hemorrhage and can have surgery within a few hours of the bleed.
This trial tests a method to actively flush (irrigate) and help remove an active brain bleed inside the brain. It may help some adults recover better by improving how the blood is cleared after bleeding starts.
This trial tests a minimally invasive surgery (soft channel drainage) to remove a large blood clot deep in the brain after a stroke. It is for people who can have the procedure within 48 hours of bleeding and whose consciousness is reduced but not completely gone.
This trial tests a rapid procedure to remove a blood clot in the brain after a specific type of stroke. It might help people with a moderate-sized bleed in the front part of the brain if treatment can start within 24 hours.
