ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a treatment approach for patients who have had a large vessel ischemic stroke, which is a type of stroke caused by a blockage in the major blood vessels of the brain. The research focuses on using a procedure called rescue stenting, along with a medication called intravenous thrombolysis (IVT), to improve blood flow when the standard treatment, mechanical thrombectomy, doesn't work. By examining real-world strategies for preventing complications after stenting, the trial aims to find out how safe and effective these combined treatments are for patients.

To participate in this study, individuals must be at least 18 years old and have experienced a large vessel occlusion stroke that requires a thrombectomy and rescue stenting within 24 hours of the stroke starting. Participants will be monitored as the study looks at how well different medications work in managing their condition after the procedure. It's important to know that the trial is currently recruiting participants, and anyone interested will need to provide informed consent before joining.
