Fusion imaging guidance during emergency stroke treatment

When you have a stroke caused by a blood clot, doctors perform an emergency procedure called endovascular thrombectomy to remove the clot and restore blood flow to your brain. This trial is testing whether adding a technology called Fusion imaging — which combines multiple imaging scans to give doctors a clearer, real-time picture during the procedure — helps doctors successfully remove the clot faster and more reliably.

Early research suggests that fusion imaging could help doctors guide the procedure more effectively, reducing the time it takes and improving the chances of successfully clearing the blood clot on the first attempt. This trial will confirm whether these benefits hold true across multiple hospitals and patient populations.
