New device aims to gently suck out brain clots without major surgery
NCT ID NCT04494295
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This registry tracks 500 adults with a large brain bleed who undergo a minimally invasive procedure using the Aurora Surgiscope. The device helps surgeons see and remove the clot through a small opening. The main goal is to see if the procedure can reduce the clot to less than 15 cc right after surgery. Researchers will also look at how patient selection and timing affect outcomes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Aurora Surgiscope System (a surgical device for minimally invasive brain surgery)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this registry could show that minimally invasive surgery improves recovery and reduces disability after a brain bleed.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational registry, not a controlled trial, so it cannot prove the device works better than other methods. Results may not apply to all patients, and surgery always carries risks like infection or rebleeding.
