Inclusion criteria

* Patient age ≥ 18 and ≤ 85 * Patient experiencing acute ischemic stroke secondary to intracranial large vessel occlusion who are eligible for mechanical thrombectomy using the Penumbra System * Planned frontline treatment with aspiration utilizing Penumbra System * Present with symptoms consistent with an acute ischemic stroke within 8 hours of stroke symptom onset * National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) ≥ 6 * Signed informed consent per Institution Review Board/Ethics Committee * CT ASPECT score from 6 to 10 (≥ 6) or according to MR DWI ASPECT score from 5 to 10 (≥ 5) * Pre-stroke mRS 0-1

Exclusion criteria

* Any comorbid disease or condition expected to compromise survival or ability to complete follow-up assessments through 90 days * Associated myocardial infarction or severe infection (endocarditis or sepsis) * Laboratory evidence of coagulation abnormalities, with an International Normalized Ratio (INR) or \> 3.0 or platelets count \< 40 x 10\^9/L or PTT/APTT \> 50 sec * Uncontrolled hypertension (defined as systolic blood pressure \> 185 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure \> 110 mmHg) * Baseline glucose \< 2.7 or \> 22.2 mmol/L * Seizure at the onset of stroke * Time of stroke symptom onset unknown * Females who are pregnant * Known serious sensitivity to radiographic contrast media that cannot be pre-treated * Renal failure as defined by serum creatinine \> 3.0mg/dl (264 µmol/L) * Currently participating in an investigational (drug, device, etc.) clinical trial that will confound study endpoints. Patients in observational, natural history, and/or epidemiological studies not involving intervention are eligible * CT/MRI evidence of the following conditions at screening: significant mass effect with midline shift, evidence of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), aneurysm, or arteriovenous malformation (AVM), or intracranial tumor * . Angiographic evidence of preexisting arterial injury, such as carotid dissection, complete cervical carotid occlusion, or vasculitis. * Angiographic evidence of occlusions in multiple vascular territories (e.g., bilateral anterior circulation, or anterior circulation/vertebrobasilar system) as confirmed on CTA/MRA, or clinical evidence of bilateral strokes or strokes in multiple territories * Excessive arterial tortuosity that would prevent the device from reaching the target vessel

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
mTICI ScoreImmediate Post ProcedureAngiographic revascularization of the occluded target vessel at immediate post-procedure as defined by a modified treatment in cerebral infarction (mTICI) score of 2b or higher. mTICI scale ranges from 0 to 3 with higher values representing better outcomes.
Functional Subject Outcome90 days postGood functional subject outcome at 90 days post-procedure as defined by modified Rankin Scale (mRS) 0-2. mRS scale from from 0 to 6 with higher values representing a worse outcome.
All-cause mortality at 90 days90 daysAll-cause mortality at 90 days

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Procedural TimeImmediate Post ProcedureTime from the arterial puncture to revascularization defined by mTICI 2b or greater
Stroke Onset to RevascularizationImmediate Post ProcedureTime from stroke onset to revascularization defined by mTICI 2b or greater
Safety: Device and procedure related SAEUp to 30 days Post ProcedureIncidence of device and procedure related Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
Length of index hospital stayUp to 90 days Post Procedure
Type of Discharge FacilityUp to 90 days Post Procedure
Complete RevascularizationImmediate Post ProcedureComplete revascularization, defined as mTICI 2c and 3
Safety: Occurrence of ENTImmediate Post ProcedureOccurrence of embolization in previously uninvolved (or new) territories (ENT) as seen on the final control angiogram at the end of procedure
Safety: Occurrence of Symptomatic intracranial hemorrhageUp to 24 Hours Post ProcedureOccurrence of symptomatic hemorrhages (sICH) at 24 hours
