Blood Pressure Management After Stroke Clot Removal
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether keeping blood pressure at different target levels after emergency clot-removal treatment (called endovascular therapy) can improve recovery from acute ischemic stroke caused by large vessel blockages. The trial will help doctors understand the best blood pressure strategy for patients in the hours right after successful clot removal.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 18 or older
- Had a stroke caused by a major blood vessel blockage in the front part of the brain (carotid or middle cerebral artery)
- Received emergency clot-removal procedure within 24 hours of stroke onset and the clot was successfully removed
- Had two blood pressure readings of 150 mmHg or higher (systolic, the top number) within 3 hours after the procedure
- Can be enrolled and start the study within 3 hours after the clot removal procedure
- Able to sign informed consent or have a legal representative do so

This study enrolls people who had an acute ischemic stroke (caused by a blood clot) and received emergency treatment to remove the clot. Researchers want to understand why some patients recover well while others don't, by measuring how the brain regulates its own blood flow after treatment.
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 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 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 tests whether lowering blood pressure soon after a clot-removal procedure for stroke can improve recovery. It is for people whose blood pressure remains high after the procedure.
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.
