New catheter aims to suck out stroke clots fast
NCT ID NCT07376447
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new device called the iNstroke catheter, designed to remove blood clots from the brain in people having an acute ischemic stroke. About 160 participants will undergo a procedure where the catheter is used to suction out the clot. The main goal is to see how often the device successfully restores blood flow within three attempts, either alone or with a stent retriever.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- iNstroke 6F and 4F thromboaspiration catheter
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this device could provide a reliable way to quickly restore blood flow in stroke patients, potentially reducing brain damage and improving recovery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a single-arm study with no comparison group, so results may be less conclusive. The device may not work for all clot types or could cause complications like vessel damage.
