Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Arterial Recanalization of the Occluded Target Vessel Measured by Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction (TICI) Score Equal or Superior to 2b Following the Use of the Study Device.

    Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction (TICI) score Grade 0- No perfusion Grade 1- Penetration with Minimal Perfusion Grade 2- Partial Perfusion Grade 2a- Only partial filling (\<2/3) of the entire vascular territory is visualized Grade 2b - Complete filling of all of the expected vascular territory is visualized, but the filling is slower than normal Grade 3- Complete Perfusion

    Immediately post procedure

  • Incidence of Device-related and Procedure-related Serious Adverse Events (SAEs).

    Device-related and procedure-related Serious Adverse Events (SAEs). A clinically significant procedure complication is defined as a decline in NIHSS of ≥4 or access vessel complication requiring surgery or blood transfusion.

    90 Days

Secondary Outcomes (7)

  • Time to Achieve Revascularization - Groin Stick to Initial Angiogram and Final Solitaire™ FR Angiogram

    During procedure

  • Time to Achieve Revascularization - After First Ipsilateral Angiogram to Final Solitaire™ FR Angiogram

    During Procedure

  • Good Neurological Condition

Sampling MethodProbability Sample
Study Population

Subjects having clinical signs and imaging criteria consistent with acute ischemic stroke who presented within 8 hours of stroke symptoms onset with the study device were considered for inclusion in the study.

You may qualify if:

  • Subject or subject's legally authorized representative has signed and dated an Informed Consent Form
  • Age ≥ 18 and \< 85
  • Clinical signs consistent with acute ischemic stroke
  • Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction (TICI) 0 or TICI 1 flow in the proximal anterior intracranial vasculature (M1 or M2 of Middle Cerebral Artery (MCA), Internal Carotid Artery (ICA) intracranial, Internal Carotid Artery (ICA) terminal)
  • Presentation within 8 hours of stroke onset according to local stroke protocol
  • If stroke presentation within 4.5 hours, one of these conditions can be met:
  • Bridging protocol (starting intravenous and continuing with intra-arterial) (Up to maximum 0.9 mg/kg)
  • Failed intravenous thrombolysis
  • Direct Intra-arterial treatment (according to institution guidelines)
  • Subject is willing to conduct follow-up visits.
  • National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) ≥ 8 and ≤ 30
  • Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) ≤ 2 prior to stroke onset

You may not qualify if:

  • Females who are pregnant or lactating
  • Known serious sensitivity to radiographic contrast agents
  • Neurological signs that are rapidly improving prior to or at time of treatment
  • Current participation in another investigational drug or device study
  • Life expectancy of less than 90 days
  • National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) \> 30 or coma
  • Uncontrolled hypertension defined as systolic blood pressure \> 185 or diastolic blood pressure \> 110 that cannot be controlled except with continuous parenteral antihypertensive medication
  • Use of warfarin anticoagulation with International Normalised Ratio (INR) \> 3.0
  • Platelet count \< 30,000
  • Glucose \< 400 mg/dL
  • Previous stroke within 30 days
  • Time of symptom onset unknown
  • Seizure at the onset of stroke
  • Myocardial infarction or infection (sepsis or endocarditis)
  • Arterial tortuosity that would prevent the device from reaching the target vessel
  • +5 more criteria
