Clot removal methods for acute ischemic stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of removing a blood clot from a large artery in the brain during an ischemic stroke. It might help you by finding out which method restores blood flow more safely and effectively.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You had a recent blockage in a large artery in the front part of your brain (ischemic stroke).
- You were mostly independent before this stroke (able to take care of yourself).
- Your stroke symptoms are moderate to severe on a severity scale.
- Your doctor can start the treatment within 24 hours of when you were last known to be well.
- You are willing to receive either a catheter-based suction device or a stent-like device to remove the blockage.

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 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 compares a procedure to remove the blockage (endovascular therapy) with the best medications alone for people who have a mild stroke caused by a large blocked artery in the brain. The goal is to see if the procedure can improve recovery better than medicine alone.
This trial tests a new catheter (Super-Bore 8/7F) to remove blood clots in people having a major stroke caused by a blocked large artery in the brain. The goal is to see if it is safe and effective at restoring blood flow when used within 24 hours of stroke symptoms starting.
This trial tests a procedure called endovascular thrombectomy (clot removal through a catheter) for people with very large strokes. It aims to see if removing the clot can help even when a large part of the brain is already damaged.
This trial tests a procedure to remove a large blood clot in the brain (mechanical thrombectomy) for people who have a very large stroke. It aims to see if removing the clot can improve recovery, even for those with severe strokes.
