Registry for Endovascular Thrombectomy in Acute Ischemic Stroke in Taiwan
Official title: Taiwan Registry of Endovascular Thrombectomy for Acute Ischemic Stroke
Run by National Taiwan University Hospital · NCT05281055 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study collects information from patients in Taiwan who have had a stroke and received a specific treatment called endovascular thrombectomy to see how well it works and how safe it is.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are individuals with acute ischemic stroke caused by large vessel occlusion who can be treated within 24 hours of onset.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with strokes caused by intracranial hemorrhage or those who do not undergo endovascular thrombectomy will not benefit from this registry.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This registry collects data from multiple centers in Taiwan on patients with acute ischemic stroke who undergo endovascular thrombectomy (EVT). It began in January 2019 and includes demographic information, medical history, stroke onset timing, severity, treatment details, and outcomes at three months post-stroke. The aim is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of EVT in the Taiwanese population, particularly given the lack of diversity in previous studies. The registry also incorporates standardized imaging analysis to quantify de-identified imaging data.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this registry could enhance understanding of EVT outcomes in diverse populations and improve treatment protocols for acute ischemic stroke.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies on endovascular thrombectomy have shown significant success, but this registry aims to address gaps in knowledge regarding racial differences in treatment outcomes.
