New hope for Late-Stroke patients: clot removal may work even days later
NCT ID NCT06101667
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether a procedure to reopen a major blocked artery in the brain can help people who had a severe stroke 24 to 72 hours earlier. About 224 participants will either get the procedure plus standard care or standard care alone. The goal is to see if the procedure improves recovery and reduces disability.
