Thrombectomy for large stroke in back of the brain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial is testing whether a clot removal procedure, called endovascular thrombectomy, can help people who have a large stroke in the back part of the brain. To be eligible, the stroke must be from a blocked artery in the base of the skull, and the stroke must be severe and recent.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You had a stroke that started less than 24 hours ago, and it is in the back part of your brain.
- An imaging test (like a CT or MRI) shows a blocked main artery in the back of your brain.
- The stroke area is large, as shown on a CT or MRI with certain scores.
- Your stroke symptoms are severe (a score of 10 or more on a standard test).
- Before this stroke, you could live independently (walk, dress, bathe yourself).

This trial tests a procedure called endovascular therapy (a way to remove the blood clot using a catheter) for people with a severe stroke caused by a large blockage in the back of the brain. The goal is to see if this treatment can improve outcomes compared to standard care.
This trial tests endovascular therapy (a procedure to remove a clot through a tube in an artery) versus medical management for people with a severe stroke due to a blockage in the back part of the brain (basilar artery) and a large area of brain damage. The goal is to see if the procedure improves outcomes compared to medication alone.
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 study looks at patients who had an ischemic stroke (a type of stroke caused by a blood clot) more than 24 hours ago and have a blockage in a large brain artery. It compares outcomes for those who get a procedure to remove the clot versus those who get only medical treatment.
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 is for people who had a mild stroke and then got worse within 1 to 14 days, due to a blocked artery in the back of the brain. It tests whether a procedure to open the blocked artery can improve outcomes compared to standard care alone.
