New Clot-Busting device could save stroke patients
NCT ID NCT03601702
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing a device called EmboTrap II, which is used to remove blood clots from the brain in people having a stroke. The goal is to see if it is safe and works well at restoring blood flow. About 100 participants will be followed to track outcomes like bleeding and successful clot removal.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- EmboTrap II clot retriever device
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could confirm that the EmboTrap II device is a safe and effective tool for treating acute ischemic stroke, potentially improving recovery for patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a randomized trial, so results may be less definitive. The device may still cause bleeding or fail to restore blood flow in some cases.
