Evaluating recovery in stroke patients treated with thrombectomy

Evaluation of Favorable Functional Recovery Predictors at 3 Months of Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke Treated by Mechanical Thrombectomy

Observational University Hospital, Montpellier · NCT04916782

This study looks at how well stroke patients recover after a procedure that removes blood clots to see what factors might help them get better in the first three months.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to assess the functional recovery of patients with acute ischemic stroke who are treated with mechanical thrombectomy. It will analyze various factors that may predict successful recovery at three months post-treatment, including the timing of the procedure, patient age, and the type of anesthesia used. The study will also evaluate the impact of radiological metrics on patient management and outcomes. By identifying characteristics of 'good responder' patients, the research seeks to enhance treatment protocols for stroke patients.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 and older who require mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke.

Not a fit: Patients with serious concurrent illnesses affecting short-term prognosis or those unable to complete follow-up will not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve patient selection and treatment outcomes for individuals suffering from acute ischemic stroke.

How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown the efficacy of mechanical thrombectomy in younger patients, but this study aims to provide new insights, particularly for older patients, making it a novel approach.
