AI summary: who the study is looking for
From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.
The trial is looking for adults with an acute stroke caused by a blocked brain artery, who have a low early CT score (ASPECTS 0-5) and are treated by removing the clot through a catheter. Care stays routine; data are only collected.

- Original description
Improving Low ASPECTS Stroke Thromectomy (I-LAST) is an academic, independent, prospective, multicenter, observational registry study. Consecutive patients treated with endovascular stroke treatment will be enrolled in German stroke centers. Patients receive regular care and data will be collected as part of clinical routine. Baseline clinical and procedural information as well clinical follow-up information during in-hospital stay, and up to 90 days of stroke onset are collected. Data collected include demographics, National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) on admission, pre-treatment ASPECTS, information on timing and success of interventional treatment, procedural complications, intracranial hemorrhage, and functional outcome. Advanced imaging biomarkers will be tested and validated aiming to improve treatment selection and outcome prediction of patients presenting with extensive baseline infarction.Read full original descriptionShow less
