Summary

This study compares two treatments for people with a severe stroke caused by a large blood clot. One group gets standard care (medication), and the other gets standard care plus a procedure to remove the clot. The goal is to see if clot removal leads to better recovery and less disability. About 286 adults with very large strokes will take part.

Active substance: Endovascular thrombectomy (clot removal procedure) plus standard medical care
What this could lead to: If successful, this could show that clot removal improves recovery and reduces disability in people with very large strokes.
What could go wrong: This is an early-stage trial with only 286 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The procedure carries risks like bleeding or vessel damage.
