Direct to Angio Suite for Severe Stroke from Large Clots
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether going straight to the angiography suite (a special X-ray room) for clot removal can speed up treatment and improve outcomes for people having a severe stroke caused by a large blood clot. It may help those who can be treated within 6 hours of symptoms starting.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older
- You must have stroke symptoms suggesting a large blood clot in a major brain artery
- Treatment must start within 6 hours of your first symptoms
- Your stroke symptoms must be severe (score of 10 or higher on a standard stroke scale)
- You must be able to get to the hospital directly (not transferred from another hospital)

This trial tests a faster way to treat strokes by using a special room that combines a CT scanner and an X-ray machine, so doctors can decide and act quickly. You may qualify if you have a recent ischemic stroke and can have the clot removed within 24 hours.
This trial compares a procedure to remove a large blood clot from the brain (thrombectomy) with standard medical care for people who had a stroke 24 to 72 hours ago but still have some blood flow around the clot. It aims to see if the procedure can help improve recovery even when started later than usual.
This trial tests whether a specific head-down position before a clot removal procedure improves outcomes for people with a large vessel occlusion stroke. It is for patients who have a confirmed blockage and can wait a short time before the procedure.
This trial tests whether giving a clot-busting drug (alteplase) directly into the brain artery after a successful clot removal improves recovery in people with severe stroke. It is for patients who have had a thrombectomy and still have a large blocked artery in the front of the brain.
This trial looks at whether using an MRI blood-flow (perfusion) scan to help choose treatment improves outcomes for certain large-vessel strokes. You must be treated within 6–24 hours after symptoms start, with specific scan and blood test findings.
This trial compares two ways to treat severe stroke patients with a large vessel blockage. One way is the standard approach of first imaging you and then deciding. The other way takes you directly to the angiography suite for immediate clot removal by the doctor. The goal is to see if this faster, direct approach helps you get better results.
