Could a Clot-Removing device shield the Brain's thinking power after stroke?
NCT ID NCT05531461
First seen Aug 12, 2026 · Last updated Aug 13, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether successfully restoring blood flow in the brain using the Tigertriever device, a tool that removes clots during a stroke, may also help protect cognitive abilities like memory and attention. Researchers will follow 424 adults aged 18 to 75 who had a large-vessel occlusion stroke and were treated with Tigertriever as the first-line therapy. They will compare thinking and memory scores taken shortly after treatment with those at 180 days to see if good blood flow restoration is linked to better cognitive outcomes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Tigertriever, a stent-retriever device used to remove blood clots in the brain during a stroke
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that using Tigertriever to restore blood flow after a stroke may help preserve or improve cognitive function, such as memory and thinking.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Cognitive improvement may vary widely, and results may not apply to all stroke patients.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patients admitted with large vessel occlusion (LVO) and treated with the Tigertriever, as indicated per the approved IFU. 2. Tigertriever was used as the first line treatment in the target vessel. 3. A signed informed consent. 4. Age 18-75 years (inclusive). 5. No known significant pre-stroke disability (pre-stroke mRS 0 or 1). Exclusion Criteria: 1. Use of any other IA recanalization device prior to the Tigertriever in the target vessel, including aspiration catheter. 2. Evidence of acute brain hemorrhage on CT and/or MRI at admission. 3. Prior hemorrhage, stroke, thrombolysis, and/or endovascular therapy in the last 3 months. 4. Probable cerebral amyloid angiopathy. 5. Pre-stroke diagnosed dementia and/or prescribed cholinesterase inhibitors. 6. Pre-stroke diagnosed and/or currently treated major depression. 7. Pre-stroke learning or intellectual disability. 8. Anticipated inability to obtain 6-month follow-up assessments. \-
