NCT ID NCT05152524

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This trial tests a device called Tigertriever 13 to treat distal ischemic strokes, where a blood clot blocks a small artery deep in the brain. About 168 patients with disabling symptoms will receive either the device or standard medical care within 24 hours of stroke onset. The goal is to see if the device safely restores blood flow and improves outcomes.
