Brain, Blood And Clot or Tissue Registry And Collaboration
This study, called the Brain, Blood And Clot or Tissue Registry And Collaboration, is collecting samples of blood and tissue during cerebrovascular procedures (surgeries or treatments for blood vessel problems in the brain) at the University of Kentucky. The goal is to better understand conditions like acute ischemic stroke (a type of stroke caused by a blood clot) and other cerebrovascular disorders. Researchers will analyze these samples to find biological markers (substances in the body that can indicate a disease) and learn more about how these diseases affect the body. This information could help develop better treatments in the future. Up to 1000 adults, aged 18 and older, who are undergoing a cerebrovascular procedure at the University of Kentucky can participate.
- Study design
- This is an observational study that aims to enroll up to 1000 participants. It is not testing a new treatment but rather collecting information.
- What's involved
- If you participate, researchers will collect standard blood and tissue samples during your cerebrovascular procedure. You will also need to give consent.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- The primary endpoint, evaluating blood pH, will be assessed over an estimated 3 years.

What this trial measures
- Evaluate pH of blood as a marker of acid/base balance in distal blood and proximal blood, and correlate to interval of time between Last Known Normal and vessel recanalization.Assessed over the course of the study, an estimated 3 years.
A small amount of blood (from the two specimens) will be sent for blood gas analysis to evaluate the pH, pO2, pCO2, pHCO3 potassium, sodium, and calcium concentrations.
