Robot-assisted surgery to remove brain bleeding after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a minimally invasive robot-guided procedure to remove blood clots that develop after stroke treatment. The goal is to reduce brain damage and improve recovery in patients whose condition got worse after initial stroke therapy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 18–79 years old
- Had a stroke treated with clot-busting or clot-removal procedures
- Developed bleeding in the brain (confirmed by CT scan) after stroke treatment, with signs of neurological worsening
- Bleeding volume is 20–80 mL (measured on CT) and not rapidly expanding
- Blood clotting levels have been corrected to safe ranges before surgery
- Can undergo robot-assisted minimally invasive brain surgery within 24 hours of diagnosis

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 trial tests a minimally invasive procedure using a special clot-busting medicine (tenecteplase) for a certain type of brain bleed. It aims to see if this approach improves recovery compared to standard care.
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 new, less invasive brain surgery using a robotic arm guided by artificial intelligence (AI) to remove a large blood clot caused by a hemorrhagic stroke in the basal ganglia. It may be an option for people who can have surgery soon after the stroke and were previously independent.
This trial tests a robot-assisted, minimally invasive surgery to remove blood clots from the brain's fluid-filled spaces (ventricles) after a hemorrhage. The goal is to see if this approach improves recovery for patients with moderate to severe bleeding.
