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.

This study tests a safer, lower-intensity balloon procedure to improve blood flow in people whose brain arteries are narrowed and who recently had a stroke. It aims to reduce the chance of another stroke by restoring flow while minimizing procedure-related risks.
This trial tests if a procedure to reopen a blocked brain artery can help people who have had mini-strokes or strokes despite medical treatment. It is for people with a blockage in a specific brain artery that happened 2 weeks to 3 months ago.
This trial tests if a minimally invasive procedure can reopen arteries in the brain that have been blocked for over a month. It may help people who have stroke-like symptoms and have not had severe disability before.
This trial is testing an interventional treatment for people who have severe narrowing (70-99%) in a major brain artery that has caused a stroke or mini-stroke in the past year. The goal is to see if this treatment can help prevent future strokes.
This trial tests whether a “remote conditioning” procedure done on the arm, along with endovascular stenting (a catheter-based treatment), can reduce problems from severely narrowed brain arteries. It is aimed at adults who have had a stroke or “mini-stroke” caused by this artery narrowing.
This trial tests a mechanical device to widen brain arteries that remain narrowed after standard treatment for bleeding around the brain. It may help people whose blood vessels are not opening enough with medication alone.
