New stroke study tests which Clot-Sucking method works best
NCT ID NCT07231380
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two ways to remove blood clots from the brain during a stroke. About 500 adults who have a stroke from a large blocked artery will be randomly assigned to one of two standard techniques: a cyclic 'plunger' method or a steady suction method. The goal is to see which technique clears the clot more completely on the first try and leads to better recovery after 90 days.
