Heart procedures and acute stroke treatment study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at people who have had a stroke caused by a blood clot and also had a heart procedure (like angioplasty or valve repair) in the last 28 days. It aims to see how these heart procedures affect stroke recovery and treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older and have had an acute ischemic stroke (stroke from a clot).
- The stroke shows up on a CT or MRI scan, either at the start or within 1–2 days.
- You have had a heart procedure (like angioplasty, valve repair, or closing a hole in the heart) within the past 28 days.
- You (or a family member for you) can sign a consent form.

This trial compares two blood thinners (ticagrelor and aspirin) to see which one works better at preventing blood clots after a less-invasive heart valve replacement (TAVI). It is for people with severe aortic stenosis who also have diabetes, heart disease, or artery disease.
This study checks how the heart is doing in people who had a stroke caused by a clot and received treatment. It aims to learn how the heart recovers after the stroke is treated.
This study tests a combined approach — a catheter ablation to fix the irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) and a device to close the left atrial appendage — in people who recently had a stroke caused by a clot. The goal is to prevent future strokes and reduce the need for long-term blood thinners.
This study looks at how a moderate to severe stroke can affect your heart. It aims to understand the link between stroke and heart problems, which may help improve future care.
This study tests whether an urgent balloon procedure (angioplasty) to open a narrowed brain artery, done right after removing a clot, helps patients recover better from a severe stroke. It is for people whose artery is still very narrow after the clot is removed.
This study tests a rescue treatment for people having a major stroke caused by a blocked artery in the brain that also has severe narrowing. If doctors can't fully open the artery with standard clot removal, this study looks at whether additional treatments can help.
