Ultrasound check after stroke clot removal
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses a special ultrasound test to check blood flow in your brain after you have had a procedure to remove a stroke-causing clot. It aims to see how well the treatment worked and if more help is needed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You recently had a stroke caused by a blockage in a large blood vessel in the front part of your brain (such as the middle, front, or internal carotid artery).
- You had a procedure called a thrombectomy, where doctors used a thin tube to remove the clot from the blocked artery.
- You must be able to have a transcranial Doppler ultrasound, which uses sound waves through your skull to check blood flow in your brain.
- You cannot be pregnant or in jail or prison.

This study enrolls people who had an acute ischemic stroke (caused by a blood clot) and received emergency treatment to remove the clot. Researchers want to understand why some patients recover well while others don't, by measuring how the brain regulates its own blood flow after treatment.
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 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 tests a procedure called mechanical thrombectomy to remove blood clots from medium-sized arteries in the front of the brain. It may help people who had a stroke from a blockage in these vessels, potentially improving recovery.
This trial looks at how blood flow damage (“reperfusion injury”) happens after mechanical clot removal in certain stroke types. It may help doctors better prevent complications after the procedure.
This study uses a special CT scan to see how well blood flows in the brain after a stroke patient has had a procedure to remove a clot. The goal is to learn more about recovery and improve future care.
