Treating Clots Deep in Brain Vessels After Initial Procedure
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares two approaches for stroke patients who have a second clot in smaller brain vessels after their first clot removal. You'll either receive a procedure to remove the second clot or careful monitoring without additional intervention, depending on what doctors think is best for you.
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 large blood clot in your brain that was successfully removed
- You have one or more additional clots in smaller brain vessels after the first clot removal
- Your doctor believes you are healthy enough to either have another clot-removal procedure or be monitored closely
- You or a family member can provide informed consent to participate

This trial tests whether removing a blood clot from a large brain artery is better than standard medical care for people who have a mild stroke (NIHSS score 2-5) but still have symptoms like trouble speaking, weakness, or confusion. It is for patients who can be treated within 24 hours of their last known well time.
This trial tests if a procedure called mechanical thrombectomy can safely remove clots from smaller arteries in the front part of the brain after a stroke. The goal is to help restore blood flow and improve recovery.
This trial compares two methods for removing blood clots from arteries in the brain during an acute stroke: aspiration (suction) versus stent retriever (a mesh device). The goal is to see which approach works better for patients treated within 24 hours of stroke symptoms.
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 study looks at how well a special catheter system works to remove blood clots from smaller arteries in the brain after a stroke. It aims to see if this treatment helps people recover better.
This trial tests if a procedure to remove a blood clot from the main artery in the back of the brain (basilar artery) can help people who have a large stroke. The procedure is done within 24 hours of symptom onset, and researchers want to see if it can reduce disability.
