ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking into the effectiveness of endovascular treatments for patients who have suffered an acute ischemic stroke, which is a type of stroke caused by a blockage in the blood vessels of the brain. The goal is to better understand how these patients are assessed, diagnosed, and treated using various endovascular techniques, such as removing the blockage or opening narrowed blood vessels. The trial is currently recruiting participants aged 65 and older of any gender who have experienced a stroke and have imaging tests confirming a blockage in a major brain artery.

If you or a loved one are considering participation, you would need to have a confirmed stroke that meets specific criteria, and you must be able to provide informed consent either by signing a document or through emergency procedures. It's important to note that those with bleeding in the brain or other specific conditions may not be eligible. Participants will receive the necessary treatment and follow-ups as part of the study, helping researchers gather valuable information that could improve care for future stroke patients.
