Opening blocked arteries in the brain long after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial looks back at patients who had a procedure to reopen a major artery in the brain that had been blocked for a long time. It will help doctors learn if this treatment is safe and effective for people with chronic blockages in certain key arteries.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a procedure to reopen a blocked artery in the brain between 2020 and 2024.
- The blockage was in one of these arteries: internal carotid, middle cerebral, vertebral, or basilar.
- The blockage had been there for a while (chronic) and was causing symptoms.
- You did not refuse to have your medical data used for research.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a gentler type of angioplasty (a procedure to open a narrowed artery in the brain) to improve blood flow and reduce the risk of another stroke. It is for people who recently had a stroke due to severe narrowing of an artery inside the brain.
This trial tests opening a blocked brain artery with a tube inserted through a blood vessel (endovascular treatment). The goal is to see if this treatment can improve symptoms caused by the blockage.
This study tests a procedure called endovascular recanalization, which uses a small tube to open a blocked artery in the brain. It is for people who had a stroke or mini-stroke recently and are still having symptoms despite taking medication. The goal is to improve blood flow and reduce the chance of another stroke.
This trial tests whether using a balloon or stent to reopen a blocked artery in the brain, after the initial clot removal procedure, is safe and effective for people who still have poor blood flow. It aims to improve recovery after a stroke caused by hardening of the arteries.
This trial looks at how well a catheter-based procedure (endovascular treatment) works for people with a severely narrowed brain artery that has already caused a mini-stroke or stroke. The goal is to prevent future strokes.
This trial tests whether using a catheter-based procedure (endovascular treatment) to open the blocked basilar artery can improve recovery in people with a mild to moderate stroke in the back part of the brain. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and helps patients recover better than standard care.
