Comparing tight vs. usual blood pressure control after stroke clot removal
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether keeping blood pressure very tightly controlled after a stroke clot removal (thrombectomy) is better than standard care. It may help people who have had an acute stroke from a large brain artery blockage and still have high blood pressure after the procedure.
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 blockage in a major artery in the front part of your brain.
- You had a procedure (thrombectomy) to remove the clot within 24 hours of your first symptoms.
- The clot removal was successful, and you have no significant narrowing remaining in that artery.
- Within 3 hours after the procedure, your blood pressure stayed high (systolic 140 or above) for at least two readings taken more than 10 minutes apart.
- You do not have major liver or kidney problems, brain tumors, or other serious illnesses that would limit your life expectancy to less than 6 months.

This trial tests how managing high blood pressure during clot-dissolving treatment for acute ischemic stroke affects recovery. It is for patients who have high blood pressure at the start of treatment.
This trial studies whether an endovascular (catheter-based) procedure to treat a certain type of blocked artery can improve outcomes for people who already had trouble functioning before their stroke. You may be considered if your stroke is confirmed early and your scans show the right type and location of blockage.
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 tests whether carefully lowering blood pressure after a mechanical clot removal procedure for stroke can improve outcomes. If you've had a large vessel stroke that was successfully treated with thrombectomy, this study will help guide blood pressure management in the recovery period.
This study tests whether using a specific blood pressure target after a stroke procedure can improve recovery. It may help patients who had a large vessel blockage in the brain and had successful treatment to reopen the vessel.
This trial tests a strategy for managing high blood pressure in people having an acute ischemic stroke who are about to receive clot-busting medication. It aims to see if carefully lowering blood pressure within a specific range improves outcomes.
