First seen Mar 13, 2026 · Last updated May 21, 2026 · Updated 6 times

Summary

This study compares two ways to treat people having a severe stroke caused by a blocked large artery. One group goes straight to a special X-ray room (angiography suite) for treatment, while the other group gets standard CT or MRI scans first. The goal is to see if the direct route leads to better recovery and less disability. About 568 adults who can be treated within 6 hours of symptoms will take part.
