Brief Summary
The primary objective of this clinical evaluation is to determine the safety and effectiveness of the Penumbra System in a stroke cohort who presents within 8 hours from symptom and with a known core infarct volume at admission. The secondary objective is to determine if there is a correlation between infarct volume and functional outcome in treated patients at 90 days post-procedure.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (4)
Functional Outcome as Defined by a mRS of 0-2 at 90 Days Post-procedure
Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) ranges from 0 to 5, with higher scores being worse.
At 90 days post-procedure
Angiographic Assessment of Vessel Patency as Measured by TIMI Score
Defined by Number of participants with Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) 2-3. A lower score means a worse outcome and higher scores means better outcome on a scale of 0-3.
At immediate post-procedure
Angiographic Assessment of Vessel Patency as Measured by Modified TICI Score
Defined by number of participants with modified thrombolysis in cerebral infarction (TICI) 2-3. A lower score means a worse outcome and higher scores means better outcome on a scale of 0-3.
At immediate post-procedure
Procedural Serious Adverse Events During the Procedure
Defined by serious adverse events (SAEs) within 24 hours of the procedure
During the procedure, approximately 24 hours
Secondary Outcomes (3)
Good Neurological Recovery Post-procedure as Defined by a 10 Points or More Improvement on the NIHSS at Discharge
At Discharge, an average of 7 days
Incidence of Symptomatic and Asymptomatic Hemorrhage Based on the ECASS Criteria and Patient Neurological Status Within 24 Hours of the Procedure
Within 24 hours of the procedure
All Cause Mortality at 90 Days Post-procedure
At 90 days post-procedure
Study Arms (1)
Penumbra Device Arm
EXPERIMENTALInterventions
The Penumbra System is used to revascularize clotted cerebral blood vessels.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- From 18 to 85 years of age.
- Evidence of proximal anterior circulation large vessel occlusion (TIMI /TICI 0-1) (Tables 2A \& B). Target vessel occlusion may include the supra-clinoid segment of the ICA through the M1 segment of the MCA.
- Presented with symptoms consistent with acute ischemic stroke within 8 hours of symptom onset. Patients who presented within 3 hours must be ineligible or refractory to IV rtPA therapy.
- At time of enrollment, neurological deficit resulting in an NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score of 10 or greater.
- Core infarct volume assessed by CTP, CTA or DWI scans within 60 minutes to arterial puncture.
- Signed informed consent.
You may not qualify if:
- History of stroke in the past 3 months.
- Vessel tortuosity too difficult to allow endovascular access.
- Pre-existing neurological or psychiatric disease that could confound the study results such as a pre-stroke mRS score of 1 or greater.
- Known severe allergy to contrast media.
- Uncontrolled hypertension (defined as systolic blood pressure \> 185 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure \> 110 mmHg).
- Noncontrast CT evidence of the following conditions before enrollment:
- Significant mass effect with midline shift;
- Evidence of intracranial hemorrhage.
- Angiographic evidence of an arterial stenosis proximal to the occlusion that could prevent thrombus removal.
- Angiographic evidence of preexisting arterial injury.
- Life expectancy less than 90 days.
- Participation in another clinical investigation that could confound the evaluation of the study.
