Timing of blood thinners after stroke clot removal in atrial fibrillation
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study aims to find the best time to start blood thinners after emergency clot removal in people with atrial fibrillation who had a stroke. It may help reduce the risk of another stroke or bleeding.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You had a stroke caused by a large blood clot and received emergency clot removal within 24 hours.
- You have atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat) confirmed by an ECG or doctor's record.
- Your brain scan (CT or MRI) shows no bleeding or only small spots of bleeding without mass effect.
- You can start the study treatment within 72 hours of your stroke symptoms starting.
- You are not already on certain blood thinners or have conditions that make blood thinners unsafe.

This trial is testing the best time to start blood thinners (anticoagulation) after emergency stroke treatment in people who have atrial fibrillation. It is for patients who had a certain type of bleeding in the brain after the procedure.
This Phase 3 trial studies whether it’s safer to avoid long-term blood thinners after a spontaneous brain bleed in people with atrial fibrillation (an irregular heart rhythm). It compares different prevention strategies to lower the risk of stroke or other blood-vessel problems without causing new, serious bleeding.
This trial tests how well blood thinners (anticoagulants) work to dissolve clots in the heart of people with atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). It aims to find the best treatment for these clots before more serious complications occur.
This trial tests if starting blood thinners can prevent another stroke in people who had a stroke but were found to have a hidden heart rhythm problem called atrial fibrillation. It is for older adults who have had a recent stroke without a known cause.
This trial follows people with atrial fibrillation to see how long-term blood-thinning treatment affects outcomes over time. It may help determine which long-term approach best lowers stroke and clot risks for patients like you.
This study looks at people who had a stroke while taking blood thinners (anticoagulants) for an irregular heartbeat. It aims to learn more about these strokes and how to better prevent them in the future.
