Brief Summary

The Bernese-European RegistrY for ischemic stroke patients treated Outside current guidelines with Neurothrombectomy Devices using the SOLITAIRE™ FR With the Intention For Thrombectomy (BEYOND-SWIFT) is a retrospective, multi-center, non-randomized observational study aims to investigate the safety and efficacy of a Medtronic market-released neurothrombectomy device (applied as initial devices used for intervention) in acute ischemic stroke patients who do not fulfill treatment eligibility according to current guidelines. Patients will be treated or were treated at the discretion of the investigator, independent of participation in this registry. Primary Analysis is the Impact of successful reperfusion on functional outcome at day 90 in patients presenting with large infarct cores (ASPECTS\<6) or minor symptoms (NIHSS\<8).

Study Population

Patients with large-vessel occlusion acute ischemic stroke subjected to endovascular treatment using a Medtronic market-released neurothrombectomy device (applied as initial devices used for intervention).

You may qualify if:

  • Patients or patient's legally authorized representative have given informed consent according to Good Clinical Practices (GCP) and/or IRB and/or local or institutional policies.
  • The patient presents with an intracranial large vessel occlusion and therewith-related neurological symptoms and has been or will be treated with a Medtronic marketed-release neurothrombectomy device (applied as first device to attempt retrieving the thrombus).

You may not qualify if:

  • Current participation in another clinical trial
