Endovascular treatment for progressive stroke after blocked arteries in the back of the brain
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial is for people who had a mild stroke and then got worse within 1 to 14 days, due to a blocked artery in the back of the brain. It tests whether a procedure to open the blocked artery can improve outcomes compared to standard care alone.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You had a mild stroke at first, then it got worse between 24 hours and 14 days later.
- You have a blockage in one of the main arteries at the back of the brain.
- You can be treated within 24 hours of the worsening.
- You were able to do daily activities on your own before the stroke (score 0-2 on a scale).

This trial tests whether using a catheter-based procedure (endovascular treatment) to open the blocked basilar artery can improve recovery in people with a mild to moderate stroke in the back part of the brain. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and helps patients recover better than standard care.
This trial tests a procedure called endovascular therapy (a way to remove the blood clot using a catheter) for people with a severe stroke caused by a large blockage in the back of the brain. The goal is to see if this treatment can improve outcomes compared to standard care.
This trial tests endovascular therapy (a procedure to remove a clot through a tube in an artery) versus medical management for people with a severe stroke due to a blockage in the back part of the brain (basilar artery) and a large area of brain damage. The goal is to see if the procedure improves outcomes compared to medication alone.
This trial tests whether putting a small mesh tube (stent) into a blocked artery in the back of the brain can improve recovery after a severe stroke. It is for people who have had a large stroke in this area and can be treated within 24 hours of symptoms starting.
This trial tests a method to triage people who had a stroke in the back part of the brain (vertebrobasilar artery) more than 24 hours ago. The goal is to find the best way to decide which patients may still benefit from treatment.
This study tests a procedure called endovascular recanalization, which uses a small tube to open a blocked artery in the brain. It is for people who had a stroke or mini-stroke recently and are still having symptoms despite taking medication. The goal is to improve blood flow and reduce the chance of another stroke.
