Studying blood clots to improve stroke treatment
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
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 blocked artery in the brain, or a clot in a brain vein (cerebral venous thrombosis)
- You had a procedure called mechanical thrombectomy to remove the clot
- You or your legal representative can give permission to join the study
- You are not under legal protection (like guardianship)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests if removing clots from smaller arteries in the brain (not the main ones) helps people who had a stroke and can't get standard clot-busting medicine. It compares clot removal to usual care for strokes caused by these medium-sized vessel blockages.
This study looks at tiny blood clots and immune cell activity in people with or without a recent stroke. It aims to find markers that could predict stroke risk or help improve treatment.
This study looks at the early experience using the Tigertriever device to remove blood clots from large arteries in the brain. It may help researchers understand how well the device works in real-life practice for people having a stroke.
This trial studies blood clots removed from stroke patients to understand them better. If you had a stroke caused by a clot and it was taken out with a special procedure, you may be able to join.
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 well a procedure to remove blood clots from blocked brain arteries works for people who have had a stroke. It aims to see what factors help people recover better, which could help guide treatment decisions.
