Thrombectomy for large stroke in back of the brain
Part of Brain & nervous system 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 whether a minimally invasive procedure to remove a large clot from the basilar artery (a major artery in the back of the brain) can help people with severe stroke. It is for patients who have had a large stroke in this area within the past 24 hours.
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 a procedure to remove a clot in a major artery in the back of the brain (basilar artery) in patients who have had a large stroke there within the past 24 hours. It aims to see if opening the blocked artery can improve recovery.
This trial tests if endovascular therapy (a procedure to remove a clot) can help people who have had a stroke in the back part of the brain (basilar artery) and can be treated within 72 hours, even if they are not eligible for clot-dissolving medicine. The treatment may improve recovery compared to standard care alone.
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 tests whether a minimally invasive procedure to unblock blood vessels in the back of the brain (called endovascular treatment) can help patients whose stroke symptoms are getting worse between 1–2 weeks after the stroke started. The procedure aims to restore blood flow and prevent further brain damage.
