  • Clinical Trial Information

    Trial Contact: Carlo, Charlene S; Monserrate, Francheska; Melendez, Thomas L; Mondragon, Diana

  • IRB No: 23.096.05

    Protocol Abbrev: PICASSO

    Principal Investigator: Marshall Chandler Cress, MD

    ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05611242

  • Objective

    The primary objective of the trial is to establish the efficacy of intra-arterial (IA)
    mechanical thrombectomy with proximal carotid artery angioplasty (with deferred
    revascularization) versus acute stenting during thrombectomy in patients with acute ischemic
    stroke (AIS) from large vessel occlusion (LVO) in the anterior circulation and with proximal
    carotid occlusive disease (occlusion or severe stenosis) within 24 hours after symptom onset.

  • Key Eligibility

    Patients 18 to 85 years of age with Proximal Internal Carotid Artery Acute Stroke.
