Anesthesia management during clot removal for stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares different types of anesthesia given during mechanical thrombectomy (clot removal) for people who have a severe ischemic stroke from a large artery blockage. Researchers want to see which anesthesia approach leads to better recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older.
- You had an acute ischemic stroke caused by a blockage in the large internal carotid or middle cerebral artery (with or without a neck artery blockage).
- You are a candidate for mechanical thrombectomy (a procedure to remove the clot) as recommended by guidelines.
- You can give consent, or if unable, a family member or an emergency consent process can be used.
- You have national health insurance.

This trial tests whether a specific head-down position before a clot removal procedure improves outcomes for people with a large vessel occlusion stroke. It is for patients who have a confirmed blockage and can wait a short time before the procedure.
This trial compares a procedure to remove the blockage (endovascular therapy) with the best medications alone for people who have a mild stroke caused by a large blocked artery in the brain. The goal is to see if the procedure can improve recovery better than medicine alone.
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.
This study compares different ways of giving sedation during a procedure to remove blood clots in strokes caused by blocked vertebral or basilar arteries. The goal is to see which sedation approach is safest and works best for patients undergoing endovascular treatment.
This trial tests a specific sedation approach, along with support during the procedure, for people having emergency clot removal (mechanical thrombectomy) for a certain type of acute ischemic stroke. It may help make the procedure safer and more effective by improving how patients are managed during endovascular treatment.
This trial compares two methods of removing blood clots from large arteries in the brain during a stroke: suction alone versus a combination of suction and a stent-like device. It aims to see which technique works better to restore blood flow and improve outcomes for people with severe acute strokes.
