NCT ID NCT07422649
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 481 stroke patients who had a procedure to remove a blood clot from their brain. Researchers compared those who received general anesthesia (fully asleep) versus sedation (awake but relaxed). They tracked death rates and recovery to see if one method was better. The goal was to find the safest approach for this emergency treatment.

Who is studied
The study population consisted of adult patients with acute ischemic stroke who underwent mechanical thrombectomy at the University of Health Sciences Bakirkoy Dr. Sadi Konuk Training and Research Hospital between 2014 and 2018. Patients were treated within 6 hours of symptom onset and achieved successful angiographic reperfusion. Based on anesthesia records, patients were categorized according to anesthesia management as general anesthesia or sedoanalgesia.
