Procedure to open blocked artery after mild stroke
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using a catheter-based procedure (endovascular treatment) to open the blocked basilar artery can improve recovery in people with a mild to moderate stroke in the back part of the brain. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and helps patients recover better than standard care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- The stroke must have started within the last 24 hours.
- Imaging tests must show a blockage in the main artery at the back of the brain (the basilar artery).
- Your stroke symptoms should be mild to moderate — not too severe.
- You must not have had a major disability before this stroke.
- You cannot be pregnant, breast-feeding, or have certain medical conditions that increase bleeding risk.

This trial is for people who had a mild stroke and then got worse within 1 to 14 days, due to a blocked artery in the back of the brain. It tests whether a procedure to open the blocked artery can improve outcomes compared to standard care alone.
This trial tests whether putting a small mesh tube (stent) into a blocked artery in the back of the brain can improve recovery after a severe stroke. It is for people who have had a large stroke in this area and can be treated within 24 hours of symptoms starting.
This study tests whether an emergency procedure to open a blocked artery in the back of the brain can help people whose stroke starts mild but then suddenly gets worse days later. The goal is to see if this treatment can limit further brain damage and improve recovery.
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 study tests whether a minimally invasive procedure to remove a large blood clot from the main artery at the back of the brain can help people who have had a severe stroke. It aims to improve recovery and reduce disability.
This trial tests whether giving a clot-busting medicine (tenecteplase) can help people with a specific type of stroke caused by a basilar artery blockage, even if treatment starts later than usual. It aims to improve brain recovery and function by reopening the blocked artery.
