Endovascular therapy for large core posterior stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests endovascular therapy (a procedure to remove a clot through a tube in an artery) versus medical management for people with a severe stroke due to a blockage in the back part of the brain (basilar artery) and a large area of brain damage. The goal is to see if the procedure improves outcomes compared to medication alone.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You must have a blockage in the main artery at the back of your brain (basilar artery) or in the end parts of both vertebral arteries.
- It must be 7 days or less from when your symptoms started (or from when you were last known to be well) to when you receive treatment.
- You must have a large area of stroke damage in the back part of your brain (posterior circulation large core infarct), confirmed by a specific CT or MRI score (pc-ASPECTS 0-5).
- You must not have bleeding in the brain on your initial scan (except for tiny spots called microbleeds).

This trial tests a procedure to remove a clot in a major artery in the back of the brain (basilar artery) in patients who have had a large stroke there within the past 24 hours. It aims to see if opening the blocked artery can improve recovery.
This trial tests if endovascular therapy (a procedure to remove a clot) can help people who have had a stroke in the back part of the brain (basilar artery) and can be treated within 72 hours, even if they are not eligible for clot-dissolving medicine. The treatment may improve recovery compared to standard care alone.
This trial tests whether a minimally invasive procedure to remove a blood clot from the basilar artery in the back of the brain is safe and effective for people with mild to moderate stroke symptoms. It may be an option if you have a confirmed blockage and can be treated within 24 hours of stroke onset.
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 tests a procedure to remove a blood clot from the main artery at the back of the brain (basilar artery) in people who have a large stroke. The goal is to see if this treatment can improve recovery even when the stroke damage is bigger than usual.
This trial tests whether a minimally invasive procedure to remove a large clot from the basilar artery (a major artery in the back of the brain) can help people with severe stroke. It is for patients who have had a large stroke in this area within the past 24 hours.
