First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study compares two types of anesthesia given during surgery to remove a blood clot from the brain after a stroke. One is inhaled (sevoflurane) and the other is given through a vein (propofol). Researchers want to see which method leads to better recovery and independence 90 days after the procedure. The study will enroll 120 adults who need this emergency treatment.
