Endovascular treatment for chronic blocked brain arteries
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if a minimally invasive procedure can reopen arteries in the brain that have been blocked for over a month. It may help people who have stroke-like symptoms and have not had severe disability before.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests if a procedure to reopen a blocked brain artery can help people who have had mini-strokes or strokes despite medical treatment. It is for people with a blockage in a specific brain artery that happened 2 weeks to 3 months ago.
This trial looks back at patients who had a procedure to reopen a major artery in the brain that had been blocked for a long time. It will help doctors learn if this treatment is safe and effective for people with chronic blockages in certain key arteries.
This trial tests whether a procedure to remove a blood clot from a medium-sized brain artery can improve outcomes for people having a stroke. It is for patients who have not received clot-busting medicine and are not suitable for it.
This trial tests whether a minimally invasive procedure to unblock blood vessels in the back of the brain (called endovascular treatment) can help patients whose stroke symptoms are getting worse between 1–2 weeks after the stroke started. The procedure aims to restore blood flow and prevent further brain damage.
This study looks at how well a procedure to remove blood clots from blocked brain arteries works for people who have had a stroke. It aims to see what factors help people recover better, which could help guide treatment decisions.
This trial tests a procedure to open a blocked artery in the back of the brain (basilar artery) for people who had a mild stroke that later got worse. If you are eligible, you may receive this treatment up to 24 hours after your symptoms worsen.
