Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Study Population

Patients with acute ischemic stroke in which imaging demonstrates a vascular occlusion located in the distal internal carotid artery (ICA) through the distal middle cerebral artery (MCA).

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Subject experiencing an acute ischemic stroke in which imaging demonstrates a vascular occlusion located in the distal internal carotid artery (ICA) through the distal middle cerebral artery (MCA).
  • Subjects in which the aspiration technique is used for at least the first two thrombectomy passes per occluded vessel.
  • Subjects older than 18 yo.
  • Subjects with a prestroke modified Rankin scale of 0-2 and presenting with an NIHSS of 2-30.
  • Subjects that the operator feels may be treated with endovascular therapy
  • Subjects in which computed tomography (CT)/Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) demonstrates an infarct size of less than 70cc on MRI or Alberta Stroke Program Early CT (ASPECTS) score overall of 6 or better.
  • Subjects in which groin puncture can be obtained within 6 hours of symptom onset (with or without Total Plasminogen Activator administration). In those Patients of more than 8 hours or awake stroke or of unknown onset should be individualized the treatment and must exist area of penumbra in CT perfusion
  • Subjects who have consented in accordance with local Institutional Review Board requirements

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Absence of large vessel occlusion on neuroimaging.
  • Platelet count < 100 x 10³ cells/mm³ or known platelet dysfunction.
  • Contraindication to CT and/or MRI (i.e., due to contrast allergy or prior implant that precludes MRI imaging).
  • Previously documented contrast allergy that is not amenable to medical treatment.
  • Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding at time of intervention.
  • Evidence of brain hemorrhage on CT and/or MRI at presenting hospital.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
modified rankin scale (mRs) at 90 days [effectiveness]
Time Frame: 90 days

Is a commonly used scale for measuring the degree of disability or dependence in the daily activities of people who have suffered a stroke or other causes of neurological disability.

Score Description: The scale runs from 0-6, running from perfect health without symptoms to death.

0 No symptoms at all

No significant disability despite symptoms; able to carry out all usual duties and activities Slight disability; unable to carry out all previous activities, but able to look after own affairs without assistance Moderate disability; requiring some help, but able to walk without assistance Moderately severe disability; unable to walk without assistance and unable to attend to own bodily needs without assistance Severe disability; bedridden, incontinent and requiring constant nursing care and attention Dead [Time Frame: 90 days]

90 days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Symptomatic intracranial bleeding [safety of the technique]
Time Frame: First 14 days
The rate of patients with intracranial hemorrhage (measured by computed tomography) with worsening of 4 points on the NIHSS scale will be evaluated.
First 14 days
Thrombolysis in cerebral infarction (TICI) scale 2b-3 [effectiveness]
Time Frame: Up to 24 hours after endovascular reperfusion
After endovascular reperfusion technique, TICI score will be evaluated in all consecutive patients. The rate of TICI 2b-3 will be recorded as a effectiveness endpoint.
Up to 24 hours after endovascular reperfusion
