Fusion imaging for stroke clot removal
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new imaging technique to help doctors see blood clots more clearly during a procedure to remove them from the brain. It may help patients having a stroke who are already eligible for clot removal.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must be eligible for a procedure called endovascular thrombectomy (EVT), which removes a blood clot from the brain.
- You must not have been in this study before.
- You must have had a CT scan with dye (CTA) before the procedure.

This trial compares different scan choices to help doctors decide the best approach for removing a stroke clot. It aims to improve outcomes after emergency stroke treatment by using the right imaging information.
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 if removing a large blood clot from the brain up to 3 days after a stroke improves recovery compared to standard medical care alone. It is for patients who have a severe stroke and are otherwise healthy enough for the procedure.
This study records outcomes for people having an acute ischemic stroke treated with an endovascular (catheter-based) procedure. It may help doctors understand how clot-removal treatment works in different patients and hospitals.
This trial tests a new approach to see if removing clots from medium-sized brain blood vessels can help more patients recover from stroke. It aims to expand the use of a standard clot-removal procedure to people with less severe symptoms or blockages in smaller vessels.
