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 checks how well CT or MRI “blood-flow” scans predict and measure brain injury in people with an acute ischemic stroke who are getting a clot-removing procedure. It may help doctors choose the right people for treatment and evaluate treatment effects using imaging taken soon after hospital arrival.
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.
