This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This pilot study tests a new measurement technique called continuous thermodilution to check blood flow in the smallest blood vessels of the brain after stroke treatment. Researchers want to understand why some patients recover well after clot removal while others don't — even when the large blood vessels appear to be reopened successfully. This measurement device may help doctors better assess whether the brain is truly getting enough blood flow.
After stroke treatment, doctors can see that large blood vessels are reopened, but many patients don't recover as well as expected. This suggests the problem might be with blood flow in the tiny vessels deep in the brain tissue. This trial exists to test whether measuring this microscopic blood flow — something that's never been done in the brain before — can help explain why some patients do better than others and potentially improve future stroke care.

If you qualify, the measurement will take place during or shortly after your mechanical thrombectomy (clot removal) procedure at the hospital. A special catheter with a temperature sensor will be briefly inserted to measure blood flow in the brain's smallest vessels — this is in addition to your standard stroke treatment. The study involves 15 patients total, and your participation would be part of testing whether this new measurement technique is safe and practical to use.
