Clot removal for severe basilar artery stroke
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a procedure to remove a blood clot from the main artery at the back of the brain (basilar artery) in people who have a large stroke. The goal is to see if this treatment can improve recovery even when the stroke damage is bigger than usual.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a severe stroke (NIHSS score of 10 or more) affecting the back of the brain.
- Your stroke started within the last 24 hours.
- A brain scan shows the main artery at the back of the brain is blocked, and the damage is moderate in size.
- You are willing to follow the study plan and give consent.

This study tests whether a minimally invasive procedure to remove a large blood clot from the main artery at the back of the brain can help people who have had a severe stroke. It aims to improve recovery and reduce disability.
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.
This trial tests endovascular therapy (a procedure to remove a clot through a tube in an artery) versus medical management for people with a severe stroke due to a blockage in the back part of the brain (basilar artery) and a large area of brain damage. The goal is to see if the procedure improves outcomes compared to medication alone.
This trial tests whether putting a small mesh tube (stent) into a blocked artery in the back of the brain can improve recovery after a severe stroke. It is for people who have had a large stroke in this area and can be treated within 24 hours of symptoms starting.
This trial compares two ways to remove a blockage in the brain’s basilar artery: suction (aspiration) versus a retriever stent. It may help doctors learn which approach works better for restoring blood flow in acute stroke patients.
This trial tests whether giving a clot-busting medicine (tenecteplase) can help people with a specific type of stroke caused by a basilar artery blockage, even if treatment starts later than usual. It aims to improve brain recovery and function by reopening the blocked artery.
