Two versus one clot-removal device for acute stroke treatment

This trial compares two approaches to treating acute stroke: using two stent retrievers (special clot-removal devices) at the same time, versus using just one. Both approaches are minimally invasive procedures performed through a catheter in your blood vessel. The researchers want to see if using two devices together can remove the clot more effectively on the first try and lead to better recovery.

In acute stroke, time is critical — a blood clot is blocking blood flow to your brain. Doctors use special clot-removal devices called stent retrievers to restore blood flow. Early research suggests that using two of these devices at the same time might work better than one alone, but this study will provide solid evidence to confirm whether this is truly a safer and more effective approach.
