First seen May 05, 2026 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at two ways to remove a blood clot from the main artery at the back of the brain in people having a severe stroke. Doctors will compare going through an artery in the wrist (radial) versus the groin (femoral) to see which approach leads to better recovery and fewer complications. About 386 adults with this specific type of stroke will take part to help determine the safest and most effective method.
