U.S., Sept. 30 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07195786) titled 'Expansion-floating Craniotomy for the Treatment of Malignant Cerebral Edema Caused by Acute Ischemic Stroke' on Sept. 15.
Brief Summary: This clinical study investigates Expansion-floating Craniotomy (EC), a novel surgical technique for treating life-threatening malignant cerebral edema following large hemispheric infarction (commonly known as massive stroke). Malignant edema causes rapid increases in intracranial pressure, compressing vital brain structures and risking fatal brain herniation, requiring urgent intervention.
The current international standard treatment is traditional decompressive craniectomy (DC). DC involves remo...
