A Prospective, Multicenter, Single-Group Target-Value Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of a Large Bore Aspiration Catheter System for the Endovascular Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study was conducted to determine the safety and efficacy of the Esperance^® Distal Access Catheter (0.071"), a novel large bore aspiration catheter in treating acute ischemic stroke (AIS) with large vessel occlusion (LVO).

Methods

A prospective multicenter clinical trial involving 15 stroke centers was performed. Baseline characteristics, procedural data, and angiographic and clinical outcomes of all acute stroke procedures (from May 2020 to March 2021) using the novel large bore aspiration catheter were analyzed.

Results

During the study period, 160 consecutive patients were recruited. The mean age and median baseline NIHSS were 65.4 years and 16, respectively. Successful reperfusion was achieved in 147 (91.9%) cases [at least modified Thromb
