U.S., April 17 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07533253) titled 'Rescue Distal Thrombectomy in Treatment for Persistent Distal Occlusions' on Feb. 03.
Brief Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether rescue distal mechanical thrombectomy can improve outcomes in patients with persistent distal occlusions after successful proximal mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke.
Many patients with acute ischemic stroke caused by large vessel occlusion undergo emergency treatment with proximal mechanical thrombectomy, which removes the main clot and restores flow in a large artery. However, in some patients, one or more smaller distal arteries remain occluded after successf...
