Endovascular treatment for large stroke caused by blocked arteries
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a procedure to remove large blood clots from the brain in people who have had a severe stroke within the last 24 hours. It may help reduce disability and improve recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- Your stroke must have started within the last 24 hours before the procedure.
- Imaging must show a large blockage in one of the major arteries in the brain.
- The stroke must be very severe, with a large area of the brain already affected.
- You should have been able to live independently before the stroke (no major disabilities).
- You must not have had bleeding in the brain or other conditions that make the procedure unsafe.

This trial tests whether placing a stent (a tiny tube) in the blocked artery in the brain can improve blood flow and help people recover from a severe stroke, especially when standard clot removal has not worked.
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 study looks at how well a procedure to remove blood clots from medium-sized brain arteries works for people who have had a severe stroke. It may help improve recovery by treating blockages that are not in the largest arteries.
This trial studies whether an emergency clot-removal procedure through the blood vessels (endovascular treatment) helps people who have a stroke caused by a blocked internal carotid artery in the neck. It compares outcomes in patients treated urgently when imaging shows the blockage is likely the main cause.
This trial tests a procedure called endovascular thrombectomy (clot removal through a catheter) for people with very large strokes. It aims to see if removing the clot can help even when a large part of the brain is already damaged.
This trial tests if a procedure to remove a large blood clot from the brain (called a thrombectomy) can help people with severe strokes who have a large damaged area. It is for people who can be treated within 24 hours of their stroke starting.
