Global registry targets dangerous bleeding during stroke clot removal
NCT ID NCT06394180
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
The PREVENT study is a large, worldwide registry that will track 1,000 stroke patients who undergo a clot-removal procedure called thrombectomy. Researchers want to understand why a blood vessel sometimes gets poked during the procedure, causing dangerous bleeding. By studying medical images and patient outcomes, they hope to create a simple classification system to help doctors quickly decide how to stop the bleeding and whether to continue the procedure. This is an observational study, so it won't test a new drug or device, but it could lead to safer techniques and better emergency care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to safer thrombectomy procedures and better emergency management of vessel perforations during stroke treatment.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational registry, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly test a new therapy. Results may take years to influence practice.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥ 18 years at time of thrombectomy * Acute ischemic stroke with occlusion of one or several intracranial arteries and subsequent thrombectomy. * Target cohort: Occurrence of intracranial perforation during thrombectomy with evidence of contrast extravasation in at least one diagnostic angiography series. * Comparison cohort: No perforation during thrombectomy. Every patient in the comparison group is matched to one patient in the target population. Matching will be carried out with respect to age, gender, participating center and location of the vascular occlusion. Exclusion Criteria: * Presence of a documented rejection * Presence of both ischemic stroke and intracranial hemorrhage on pre-interventional imaging. * Patients with intracranial dissection without active contrast extravasation. * Patients with rupture of a pre-existing intracranial aneurysm during thrombectomy. * Patients with contrast medium extravasation into a venous space instead of free contrast medium extravasation, e.g. the cavernous sinus with consecutive development of a carotid-cavernous fistula.
