Measuring blood vessel changes during stroke clot removal
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how a protective layer inside blood vessels (called the glycocalyx) and the body's inflammation levels change in people having a mechanical thrombectomy after an acute (sudden) stroke. The goal is to better understand the body's response during this treatment, which may help improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- Your stroke must be caused by a blocked blood vessel (ischemic), not by bleeding (hemorrhagic).
- You must be scheduled for a procedure called mechanical thrombectomy to remove the blockage.
- You cannot have an active infection, an autoimmune disease, cancer, or a recent major injury.
- If you are pregnant, you cannot take part.
- You must be willing to join the study.

This study records outcomes for people having an acute ischemic stroke treated with an endovascular (catheter-based) procedure. It may help doctors understand how clot-removal treatment works in different patients and hospitals.
This study looks at how the body’s immune system responds after an acute ischemic stroke that may be treated with a procedure called mechanical thrombectomy. It may help doctors understand what immune changes happen after treatment and improve future care.
This study examines how blood flow in the brain changes after a minimally invasive procedure to remove a blood clot during an acute stroke. The research uses MRI imaging to understand brain recovery patterns and may help improve stroke treatment outcomes.
This study looks at blood markers of inflammation in people who have a stroke caused by a blocked vessel and then have a procedure to remove the clot. It aims to see if these markers can predict how well people recover.
This study looks at the blood clots removed from the brain during a procedure called thrombectomy. By studying them, researchers hope to learn more about how to treat strokes and what causes them, which could help improve care.
This study uses a special CT scan to see how well blood flows in the brain after a stroke patient has had a procedure to remove a clot. The goal is to learn more about recovery and improve future care.
