Robot-assisted removal of brain bleeding after stroke treatment
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a robot-assisted procedure to remove bleeding in the brain that happens after stroke treatment. The procedure uses a small tube to drain the blood, and a clot-busting drug (tenecteplase) may be injected to help break up the clot. It aims to reduce pressure in the brain and improve recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 79 years old.
- You had a stroke caused by a blocked blood vessel and received treatment to restore blood flow, such as clot-busting drugs or a mechanical clot removal procedure.
- A brain scan shows bleeding that is causing pressure or swelling, and the blood collection is 20 to 80 mL in size.
- Your neurological symptoms worsened after the stroke treatment, like new weakness or confusion.
- You are willing to undergo a robot-assisted procedure to drain the blood within 24 hours of diagnosis.
- Your blood pressure is controlled (180 mmHg or lower) for at least 6 hours before the procedure, and any blood-thinning effects are corrected.

This trial tests a new, less invasive surgery using a robot to help guide the doctor to drain blood from a brainstem bleed. It may be an option for people who can have surgery soon after the bleed and who have a certain level of consciousness.
This trial tests a minimally invasive procedure to remove deep brain bleeds using a special puncture guided by brain imaging, combined with a clot-dissolving drug called tenecteplase. It may help reduce damage from the bleed and improve recovery.
This study tests a new way to remove brain blood clots using a small tube and a clot-busting medicine (tenecteplase). It aims to help people recover better after a specific type of bleeding in the brain.
This study compares a new AI-guided procedure to remove blood clots from the brain with standard medical treatment. It may help people who had a stroke from high blood pressure and have a medium-sized bleed in the upper part of the brain.
This trial tests if a minimally invasive surgery guided by a robotic AI system can help people with moderate bleeding deep inside the brain (basal ganglia). If you qualify, the surgery would happen within 72 hours of your stroke.
This trial tests a minimally invasive robot-assisted surgery to remove bleeding inside the brain's fluid-filled spaces, which can happen after a stroke or injury. It aims to improve recovery by clearing the blood and reducing pressure on the brain.
