Brain Blood Flow Changes After Stroke Clot Removal
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study examines how blood flow in the brain changes after a minimally invasive procedure to remove a blood clot during an acute stroke. The research uses MRI imaging to understand brain recovery patterns and may help improve stroke treatment outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 18 or older
- Recent stroke caused by a blood clot in a major brain artery (internal carotid, middle cerebral artery, or both)
- Successfully received endovascular thrombectomy (minimally invasive clot removal procedure) with confirmed clot removal
- Able to undergo MRI scan and follow breathing instructions during imaging
- No MRI contraindications such as pacemaker, metallic implants, or pregnancy
- No severe heart or lung disease, recent heart attack, or uncontrolled seizures

This study uses a special CT scan to see how well blood flows in the brain after a stroke patient has had a procedure to remove a clot. The goal is to learn more about recovery and improve future care.
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 how blood flow and brain activity change in the first days after a stroke caused by a large blockage in the front part of the brain. It tests if certain patterns can help predict recovery after a procedure to remove the clot.
This study checks how well CT or MRI “blood-flow” scans predict and measure brain injury in people with an acute ischemic stroke who are getting a clot-removing procedure. It may help doctors choose the right people for treatment and evaluate treatment effects using imaging taken soon after hospital arrival.
This research study tracks how the brain's connections change after a stroke treated with clot-removal procedures. Researchers will use special MRI scans to understand how the brain recovers and potentially improve future stroke care.
This study measures how well blood flows through the brain after a special procedure to remove a blood clot causing stroke. Researchers use a tiny temperature sensor to understand blood circulation, which may help improve stroke care.
