Stroke clot removal with a new catheter device
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new catheter device (iNstroke) to remove blood clots from the brain during a stroke. Doctors will use it within 24 hours of symptom onset to help restore blood flow and potentially improve recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- Treatment must begin within 24 hours of stroke symptoms starting.
- You must have a blockage in a large or medium blood vessel in the brain (like the carotid artery or middle cerebral artery).
- Your stroke symptoms must be at least moderately severe (a score of 6 or higher on a standard stroke scale).
- You must have been independent before the stroke—meaning you could do daily activities without help (not bedridden or needing care).
- You must not have certain conditions such as bleeding in the brain, a brain tumor, or severe kidney disease.

This trial tests a new catheter designed to remove blood clots from the brain in people having a severe stroke. It aims to restore blood flow and improve recovery when performed within 24 hours of symptom onset.
This trial tests a new catheter (Super-Bore 8/7F) to remove blood clots in people having a major stroke caused by a blocked large artery in the brain. The goal is to see if it is safe and effective at restoring blood flow when used within 24 hours of stroke symptoms starting.
This trial tests if removing a large blood clot from the brain up to 3 days after a stroke improves recovery compared to standard medical care alone. It is for patients who have a severe stroke and are otherwise healthy enough for the procedure.
This trial tests a new catheter device to remove blood clots from smaller brain arteries in people having a stroke. It aims to see if the device is safe and effective for patients treated within 24 hours of symptoms starting.
This trial compares two ways of removing a blood clot from a large artery in the brain during an ischemic stroke. It might help you by finding out which method restores blood flow more safely and effectively.
This study tests a new catheter (a thin tube) that helps doctors remove blood clots from the brain during a stroke. The goal is to see if it is safe and works well to restore blood flow.
