Rescue stenting and clot-dissolving medicine for severe stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using a stent plus a clot-dissolving drug can improve outcomes for people with a large-vessel stroke who are having a procedure to remove the clot. It is designed for patients who can receive treatment within 24 hours of their first symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a stroke caused by a blockage in a large artery in the brain.
- You are having a procedure to remove the clot (thrombectomy).
- You will also receive a stent and a clot-dissolving medicine as a rescue treatment.
- You must be able to start treatment within 24 hours of when your stroke symptoms began.
- You must be 18 years old or older.

This trial looks at using a special stent device to reopen a blocked brain artery when a standard clot-removal procedure did not work. It may help restore blood flow and reduce damage, especially when the stroke area on scans is small enough and the symptoms started within 24 hours.
This trial tests if a procedure to remove a large blood clot from the brain (called a thrombectomy) can help people with severe strokes who have a large damaged area. It is for people who can be treated within 24 hours of their stroke starting.
This trial tests whether giving a clot-busting drug (alteplase) directly into the brain artery after a successful clot removal improves recovery in people with severe stroke. It is for patients who have had a thrombectomy and still have a large blocked artery in the front of the brain.
This trial tests a device called the CONDA Stent Retriever to remove blood clots in people having a severe stroke caused by a blockage in a large brain artery. It may help if you can be treated within 24 hours of symptoms starting and meet specific brain scan and health criteria.
This trial compares a procedure to remove a large blood clot from the brain (thrombectomy) with standard medical care for people who had a stroke 24 to 72 hours ago but still have some blood flow around the clot. It aims to see if the procedure can help improve recovery even when started later than usual.
This trial tests whether using balloon dilation or stent placement in brain blood vessels after clot removal helps patients with acute stroke caused by atherosclerotic blockages (buildup of plaque in brain arteries). You may qualify if you had a stroke within 24 hours and received clot removal treatment that either partially cleared the blockage or didn't fully clear it.
