Testing a new catheter for treating acute stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new catheter (a thin tube) that helps doctors remove blood clots from the brain during a stroke. The goal is to see if it is safe and works well to restore blood flow.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 90 years old.
- Your stroke symptoms began less than 24 hours ago.
- You have a blockage (clot) in a large artery in your brain (the internal carotid, middle cerebral, vertebral, or basilar artery).
- You are scheduled to have a procedure to remove the clot (called a thrombectomy).
- You were able to live independently before this stroke (no major disability).
- You do not have serious bleeding problems, a tear in a blood vessel wall, or an infection of the heart.

This trial tests a new catheter (Super-Bore 8/7F) to remove blood clots in people having a major stroke caused by a blocked large artery in the brain. The goal is to see if it is safe and effective at restoring blood flow when used within 24 hours of stroke symptoms starting.
This study tests a new catheter device (iNstroke) to remove blood clots from the brain during a stroke. Doctors will use it within 24 hours of symptom onset to help restore blood flow and potentially improve recovery.
This trial tests a new catheter device to remove blood clots from smaller brain arteries in people having a stroke. It aims to see if the device is safe and effective for patients treated within 24 hours of symptoms starting.
This trial tests a new catheter device to remove blood clots in the brain for people having a severe stroke. The goal is to restore blood flow and improve recovery.
This trial tests a new device that removes blood clots in the brain using suction. It is for people having a large-vessel ischemic stroke who can be treated within 8 hours of symptoms starting.
This trial tests a new catheter designed to remove blood clots from the brain in people having a severe stroke. It aims to restore blood flow and improve recovery when performed within 24 hours of symptom onset.
