Brief summary

A feasibility study to evaluate the initial safety and performance of the RapidPulseTM Aspiration System in the treatment of patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS) due to Large Vessel Occlusion (LVO) in the intracranial ICA, M1, M2, basilar or vertebral arteries.

Detailed description

The purpose of this prospective, open label clinical trial is to assess the initial safety and performance of the RapidPulseTM Aspiration System as frontline approach for patients with acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusions identified within 24 hours of symptom onset (or last seen normal). The study will enroll up to a maximum of 50 subjects in 2 centers in Georgia. Subjects will undergo mechanical thrombectomy procedure and will have post-operative assessments completed at 24 hours and on Day 5-7 or upon hospital discharge.

Interventions

The RapidPulseTM Aspiration System paired with a single-use, disposable tubing set specific for use with the RapidPulseTM Aspiration System
