Researchers are studying a serious complication that sometimes happens during endovascular thrombectomy — a minimally invasive procedure used to treat acute ischemic stroke by removing blood clots from arteries in the brain. The trial compares patients who experienced a blood vessel tear (with bleeding) during the procedure with similar patients who did not, to better understand why this complication happens and how to prevent or treat it.
Although this clot-removal procedure is very effective at treating stroke, it carries a 1-2% risk of causing a blood vessel to tear, which can lead to serious bleeding in the brain, permanent disability, or death. Doctors don't yet understand why some patients experience this complication while others don't, or what the best treatment approach is when it happens.

As a participant, you would allow researchers to access and review your medical records and imaging from your stroke treatment and procedure. No additional visits, procedures, or medications are required. The study is comparing medical information between two groups — those who experienced a vessel tear during the clot-removal procedure and those who did not — to identify patterns and risk factors that may help prevent this complication in future patients.
