Blood pressure boost tested as brain shield during stroke surgery
NCT ID NCT04218773
Summary
This early pilot study is testing whether temporarily raising a patient's blood pressure during a stroke clot-removal procedure can help protect more brain tissue from damage. The researchers will enroll 40 stroke patients to see if this approach is practical and safe to perform in the emergency setting. The goal is to see if maintaining higher blood pressure during surgery helps minimize the stroke's impact while doctors work to clear the blockage.
