Clot removal may boost recovery in mild stroke patients
NCT ID NCT06143488
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares a procedure to remove blood clots (endovascular therapy) with standard medical care for people who have had a mild stroke caused by a blockage in a large brain artery. About 264 adults with mild symptoms (NIHSS score 2-5) will be enrolled within 24 hours of stroke onset. The goal is to see if the procedure leads to better functional recovery at 90 days.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
1. Aged 18 years or older; 2. The time from onset of acute ischemic stroke to arterial puncture is within 24 hours. Onset time is defined as the patient's Last Known Well (LKW); 3. Low NIHSS score (2-5 points), with at least one of the following items: 1. Altered mental status (lethargy or worse); 2. Facial palsy (facial weakness score ≥ 1 point); 3. Motor dysfunction (limb weakness score ≥ 1 point); 4. Aphasia (language disturbance score ≥ 1 point); 5. Hemispatial neglect (neglect score ≥ 1 point); 4. Intracranial internal carotid artery, proximal M1 or M2 segment of middle cerebral artery occlusion (excluding tandem lesions) confirmed by cerebral CTA/MRA/DSA before randomization, which is identified as the culprit vessel for stroke; 5. All patients receive CTP/MR perfusion imaging, with a volume of perfusion delay (Tmax\>6 s) ≥ 50 mL; 6. Written informed consent is obtained from the patient or legal surrogate, with agreement for long-term follow-up.
