Monitoring the safety of stroke treatment devices
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study monitors the safety and effectiveness of already-approved devices used to remove blood clots from the brain during an ischemic stroke. It aims to gather more information about how these devices work in real-world patients to help improve stroke care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have had an ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a blood clot) confirmed by imaging tests.
- You or your legally authorized representative can give consent to participate.

This study tests a special catheter (a thin tube) designed to remove blood clots from large arteries in the brain during a stroke. The goal is to see if it is safe and effective at restoring blood flow.
This trial looks at how blood flow and brain activity change in the first days after a stroke caused by a large blockage in the front part of the brain. It tests if certain patterns can help predict recovery after a procedure to remove the clot.
This registry tracks how Medtronic's FDA-approved devices work in treating acute ischemic stroke (a type of stroke caused by a blood clot) in everyday clinical practice. Researchers collect information to understand device safety and effectiveness outside of formal clinical trials.
This study is collecting information on how well the Penumbra System works and how safe it is when used to remove blood clots in people having a certain type of stroke. It is for patients who are eligible for mechanical thrombectomy (a procedure to remove the clot) using this device as the first treatment.
This study records outcomes for people having an acute ischemic stroke treated with an endovascular (catheter-based) procedure. It may help doctors understand how clot-removal treatment works in different patients and hospitals.
This trial tests a brain-protective approach given through an artery during treatment for an acute ischemic stroke when clot removal (endovascular therapy) is planned. It may help reduce brain injury related to the stroke and procedure.
