Clot removal after 24 hours for stroke patients
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if removing a large blood clot from the brain up to 3 days after a stroke improves recovery compared to standard medical care alone. It is for patients who have a severe stroke and are otherwise healthy enough for the procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 85 years old
- You had a stroke caused by a large clot in a major brain artery
- It has been more than 24 hours but less than 72 hours since you were last seen well
- You had little or no disability before the stroke (able to do daily activities)
- Brain scans show the clot is in a reachable location and the damaged area is not too large
- You are able and willing to come for follow-up visits

This trial tests if a procedure to remove blood clots from brain arteries can help people who had a stroke more than 24 hours ago (up to 30 days). It aims to see if this treatment improves recovery for those with moderate to severe stroke symptoms.
This trial tests whether removing a blood clot from a large brain artery is better than standard medical care for people who have a mild stroke (NIHSS score 2-5) but still have symptoms like trouble speaking, weakness, or confusion. It is for patients who can be treated within 24 hours of their last known well time.
This trial tests if a procedure to remove a blood clot from the main artery in the back of the brain (basilar artery) can help people who have a large stroke. The procedure is done within 24 hours of symptom onset, and researchers want to see if it can reduce disability.
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 study tests a procedure to remove blood clots from large arteries in the back of the brain up to 14 days after a stroke starts. It may help people who have had a stroke more than a day ago and still have significant disability.
This trial compares a procedure to remove a large blood clot from the brain (thrombectomy) with standard medical care for people who had a stroke 24 to 72 hours ago but still have some blood flow around the clot. It aims to see if the procedure can help improve recovery even when started later than usual.
