Stent placement for strokes caused by medication-resistant brain artery narrowing
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
If you have had a stroke because a brain artery is severely narrowed, despite taking medications to prevent clots, this trial tests placing a small mesh tube (stent) to open the artery and lower the risk of another stroke. It is only for people who have already had a stroke while on medication.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a stroke despite taking clot-preventing medicine and managing risk factors (like blood pressure and cholesterol).
- Your brain artery is moderately to severely narrowed (about 70–99% blocked).
- You are able to do most daily activities on your own (not severely disabled).
- The stent procedure was done at least 3 days after your last stroke.
- This is not your first stroke caused by the narrowing.

This trial tests whether placing a stent in a severely narrowed brain artery, along with aggressive medication, can prevent another stroke better than medication alone. It is for people who had a mild stroke within the last 30 days due to a 70-99% blockage in a major brain artery.
This trial tests whether putting a small mesh tube (stent) into a blocked artery in the back of the brain can improve recovery after a severe stroke. It is for people who have had a large stroke in this area and can be treated within 24 hours of symptoms starting.
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 whether placing a stent (a tiny tube) in the blocked artery in the brain can improve blood flow and help people recover from a severe stroke, especially when standard clot removal has not worked.
This trial looks at how well a catheter-based procedure (endovascular treatment) works for people with a severely narrowed brain artery that has already caused a mini-stroke or stroke. The goal is to prevent future strokes.
This trial tests whether an urgent angioplasty (a procedure to widen a narrowed artery) can help people who had a stroke caused by a blocked artery in the brain. It is for those who already had a clot-removal procedure but still have a severe narrowing in the same artery.
