Eligibility:

All Genders

18-85 years

NA

Brief Summary

The ANA catheter system (may also be designated as "ANA system", "ANA 18 -002" or "ANA device") is a distal access catheter designed to assist in neurovascular procedures by facilitating the insertion...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Clinical
  • Age ≥18 and ≤85 years.
  • Informed consent obtained from subject or acceptable subject surrogate (i.e. next of kin, or legal representative).
  • A new focal disabling neurologic deficit consistent with acute cerebral ischemia.
  • Baseline NIHSS obtained prior to procedure ≥ 8 points and ≤ 25 points.
  • Pre-ictal mRS score of 0 or 1.
  • Treatable as soon as possible and at least within 8 h of symptom onset, defined as point in time when the subject was last seen well (at baseline). (Treatment start is defined as groin puncture.)
  • Subjects for whom intravenous (IV) tissue plasminogen activator (t PA) is indicated and who are available for treatment, are treated with IV t-PA. For such patients, IV t-PA should be administered as recommended by the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association (AHA/ASA) Guidelines for the early management of patients with AIS.
  • IV t-PA, if used, is initiated as soon as possible and within 3 h of stroke onset (onset time is defined as the last time when the patient was witnessed to be well at baseline), with investigator verification that the subject has received/is receiving the correct IV t-PA dose for the estimated weight.
  • Neuro Imaging
  • Occlusion (TICI 0 or TICI 1 flow), of the terminal internal carotid artery, M1 or M2 segments of the middle cerebral artery, suitable for mechanical embolectomy, confirmed on conventional angiography.
  • The following imaging criteria should also be met:
  • MRI criterion: volume of diffusion restriction visually assessed ≤50 mL. OR
  • CT criterion: Alberta Stroke program early CT score (ASPECTS) 6 to 10 on baseline CT or CT-Angiography (CTA)-source images, or, volume of significantly lowered Cerebral Blood Volume (CBV) ≤50 mL.
  • The subject is indicated for neurothrombectomy treatment by the Interventionalist.

Exclusion

  • Clinical
  • Pre-stroke functional disability (mRS score \>1).
  • Initially treated with a different thrombectomy device.
  • Subject has suffered a stroke in the past 1 year.
  • Occlusion (TICI 0 or TICI 1 flow) of the basilar or vertebral arteries
  • The subject presents with an NIHSS score \<8 or \>25.
  • Clinical symptoms suggestive of bilateral stroke or stroke in multiple territories.
  • Severe arterial tortuosities avoiding stable positioning of the guide catheter in the petrous segment (C2) of Internal Carotid Artery (ICA)
  • Known hemorrhagic diathesis, coagulation factor deficiency, or oral anticoagulant therapy with INR \>3.0.
  • Baseline platelet count \<50,000/µL.
  • Baseline blood glucose of \<50 mg/dL or \>400 mg/dL.
  • Severe, sustained hypertension (systolic blood pressure \>185 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure \>110 mmHg).
  • NOTE: If the blood pressure can be successfully reduced and maintained at an acceptable level using European Stroke Organisation (ESO) guidelines recommended medication (including IV antihypertensive drips), the patient can be enrolled.
  • Serious, advanced, or terminal illness with anticipated life expectancy of less than 1 year.
  • Subjects with identifiable intracranial tumors.
  • History of life-threatening allergy (more than rash) to contrast medium.
  • Known nickel allergy at time of treatment.
  • Known renal insufficiency with creatinine ≥3 mg/dL or Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) \<30 mL/min.
  • Cerebral vasculitis.
  • Evidence of active systemic infection.
  • Known current use of cocaine at time of treatment.
  • Woman of childbearing potential who is known to be pregnant, and/or lactating, or who has a positive pregnancy test on admission.
  • Patient participating in a study involving an investigational drug or device that would impact this study.
  • Patients that are unlikely to be available for a 90-day follow-up (e.g. no fixed home address, visitor from overseas).
  • Neuro Imaging
  • Hypodensity on CT or restricted diffusion amounting to an Alberta Stroke Program Early CT (ASPECTS) score of \<6 on CT or \<5 on diffusion weighted (DW) MRI.
  • CT or MRI evidence of hemorrhage (the presence of microbleeds is allowed).
  • Angiographic evidence of carotid dissection, high grade stenosis or vasculitis.
  • Significant mass effect with midline shift.
  • Evidence of complete occlusion, high grade stenosis or arterial dissection in the extracranial or petrous segment of the internal carotid artery.
  • Subjects with known or suspected underlying intracranial atherosclerotic lesions responsible for the target occlusion.
  • Subjects with occlusions in multiple vascular territories (e.g., bilateral anterior circulation, or anterior/posterior circulation).
  • Evidence of intracranial tumor.
  • Suspicion of aortic dissection presumed septic embolus, or suspicion of bacterial endocarditis.
