Who this trial is looking for
This trial is looking for adults who have recently had a stroke caused by a blood clot. Participants will undergo specialized imaging after receiving treatment to help understand which parts of the brain are still at risk of damage.
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
You may be able to join if
- I am 18 years old or older.
- My last known normal state was within the last 24 hours.
- I have had a stroke caused by a significant blockage in my brain's blood vessels.
- I have had a successful procedure to remove the blood clot.
You may not be able to join if
- I have severe kidney problems.
- I cannot have contrast dye used in imaging.
- I cannot undergo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
- I have had a major stroke previously in the same brain area.
- I have blockages in both the main artery and the brain vessel.
- I have had more than four attempts to remove a blood clot.
- I am currently enrolled in another stroke treatment study.
- I am pregnant.

About This Trial
Stroke affects one patient every 40 seconds in the United States. It is most commonly caused by blood clots that develop in the blood vessels of the brain. These blood clots interrupt the normal flow of blood and oxygen to the nerve cells in the brain. When this occurs, the nerve cells can die, causing permanent damage to that area of the brain. That damage can result in loss of normal function to…
