First seen Apr 16, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 12 times
Summary
This study looks at why about half of stroke patients don't recover well even after doctors successfully remove a blood clot from their brain. Researchers will use special MRI scans to measure blood flow changes in the brain at 3 days, 7 days, and 90 days after the procedure. They will follow 100 adult stroke patients to see if these blood flow patterns relate to how well patients recover 3 months later.
