Can a Clot-Removal procedure turn the tide in severe stroke?

This trial is investigating whether adding a clot-removal procedure, called endovascular treatment, to standard medical care can improve outcomes for people who have had a severe stroke caused by a blockage in the basilar artery, a major vessel at the back of the brain. The study includes adults with a large area of brain damage who can be treated within 24 hours of symptoms starting. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either standard care alone or standard care plus the procedure, and their level of disability is measured after 90 days to see if the procedure helps them recover better.
