NCT ID NCT06249776
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This completed study tested a new device called the Supernova stent retriever in 55 people with severe stroke caused by a large blood clot in the brain. The device is threaded through blood vessels to grab and remove the clot, restoring blood flow. Researchers measured how often blood flow was successfully restored and checked for serious side effects like bleeding in the brain.
