Summary
A post-market study evaluating the EMBOVAC Aspiration Catheter in acute ischemic stroke patients with confirmed intracranial large vessel occlusion.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- Subject ≥ 18 years old.
- Subject experiencing acute ischemic stroke with angiographic confirmation of Large Vessel Occlusion of the distal intracranial internal carotid artery, middle cerebral artery or anterior cerebral artery
- A clinical decision has been made to use the EMBOVAC™ aspiration catheter prior to enrollment in the research
- EMBOVAC™ Aspiration Catheter is attempted to be used for the first 3 clot removal passes for the target intracranial occlusion
- Pre-stroke mRS ≤ 1
- NIHSS ≤ 30
- Informed Consent has been provided by the subject or the subject's legally authorized representative.
Exclusion Criteria
- Potential study candidate has already undergone standard of care assessments or treatment that deviate from the clinical research protocol requirements
- All patients with severe hypertension on presentation. All patients, in whom intravenous therapy with blood pressure medications is indicated, with hypertension that remains severe and sustained despite intravenous antihypertensive therapy
- Known cerebral vasculitis.
- Known cancer with life expectancy less than 12 months.
- Stenosis, or any occlusion, in a vessel proximal to the target occlusion that requires treatment or prevents access to the site of occlusion.
- Computed tomography (CT) or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) evidence of recent/ fresh hemorrhage on presentation.
- Baseline computed tomography (CT) or MRI showing mass effect or intracranial tumor (except small meningioma).
- Evidence of dissection in the extra or intracranial cerebral arteries.
- Occlusions in multiple vessels.
- Confirmation of positive pregnancy test according to site specific standard of care (e.g. test, verbal communication).
- Currently participating in an investigational clinical trial that may confound study endpoints.
