Direct to angiography suite for stroke clot removal
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways to treat severe stroke patients with a large vessel blockage. One way is the standard approach of first imaging you and then deciding. The other way takes you directly to the angiography suite for immediate clot removal by the doctor. The goal is to see if this faster, direct approach helps you get better results.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have signs of a serious stroke, with a severity score of 10 or higher.
- You arrive at a study hospital within 7 hours of your stroke starting.
- If you are transferred from another hospital, the time from first brain scan to arrival at the stroke center must be more than 90 minutes.
- You have a confirmed large vessel blockage on imaging, OR you have a large area of stroke damage on your scan.

This trial tests whether removing a clot from a large brain artery up to 72 hours after a stroke helps people recover better than standard care. It uses a special computer program on a regular CT scan to decide who might benefit.
This study tests whether a streamlined hospital workflow can reduce the time it takes to reopen blocked blood vessels during very fast stroke treatment. Faster treatment may help more brain tissue be saved by getting endovascular (clot-removal) therapy started sooner.
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 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 going straight to the procedure room for clot removal can speed up treatment for people having a severe stroke caused by a blocked large artery in the brain. It aims to see if this faster approach improves recovery compared to usual care.
This trial compares two ways of delivering emergency stroke treatment: one that uses a special imaging room (angio suite) where the CT scan and the clot-removal procedure are done together, versus the standard approach. The goal is to see if this combined approach speeds up treatment and improves outcomes for people with acute ischemic stroke.
