Comparing two catheters for stroke clot removal
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares two types of catheters (thin tubes) used during a stroke procedure to remove a blood clot. The goal is to see which one works better for clearing blockages in large blood vessels in the brain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are having a stroke thrombectomy (a procedure to remove a blood clot from your brain).
- Your brain imaging shows a blockage in a large blood vessel (called a large vessel occlusion).
- You are not already in another clinical trial that could interfere with this one.
- You or a legal representative can sign a consent form to participate.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a procedure called endovascular thrombectomy (clot removal through a catheter) for people with very large strokes. It aims to see if removing the clot can help even when a large part of the brain is already damaged.
This trial compares two methods for removing blood clots from arteries in the brain during an acute stroke: aspiration (suction) versus stent retriever (a mesh device). The goal is to see which approach works better for patients treated within 24 hours of stroke symptoms.
This trial tests a new catheter device (ANA Funnel) for removing large blood clots from the brain in people having a disabling stroke. The goal is to see if it safely removes clots better than standard treatment.
This study tests a special catheter (a thin tube) designed to remove blood clots from large arteries in the brain during a stroke. The goal is to see if it is safe and effective at restoring blood flow.
This trial tests a new type of catheter (called iNstroke) to remove blood clots from the brain in people having a stroke. If you are within 24 hours of a major stroke and meet certain health criteria, this study may be an option for you.
This study tests two methods of removing a large blood clot from a brain artery during stroke. The goal is to see which method helps restore blood flow faster and more safely.
