Clot removal success factors revealed in large stroke study
NCT ID NCT06016348
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 400 stroke patients who had a clot-removal procedure (thrombectomy) within 24 hours of symptoms. Researchers wanted to find out which factors helped patients recover well, such as being able to walk independently. The goal is to better predict who benefits from this treatment, even when the stroke damage is large.
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 help doctors identify which stroke patients are most likely to benefit from clot removal, even when the damage is large.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It only looks for patterns in past outcomes, so it cannot prove what works best for future patients.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥ 18-year-old * Patients presenting with acute ischaemic stroke within 24 hours of stroke onset * Received mechanical thrombectomy within 24 hours of stroke onset * Imaging criteria include: * Large vessel occlusion on CT Angiography or MR Angiography (MRA) including tandem occlusion of the internal carotid artery and middle cerebral artery or internal carotid artery. * Core infarct criteria: 1. ASPECTS ≤5 on non-contrast CT or diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI). 2. ASPECTS score \>5 and core infarct volume of 50-150 ml on CT perfusion (CTP) or reduced cerebral blood flow (rCBF) \<30% on CTP or apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) \<620 × 10-6 mm2/s on DWI. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients presenting with acute ischaemic stroke \>24 hours of stroke onset * Intracranial hemorrhage identified by CT or MRI * Pre-stroke modified Rankin Score (mRS) score of \>2 (indicating previous disability) * Any terminal illness such that the patient has a life expectancy of less than 1 year. * Patients with active cancer and undergoing treatment for cancer are excluded, * Pregnancy
