Researchers are evaluating how quickly stroke patients receive treatment and its impact on their recovery, focusing on acute ischemic stroke patients with large vessel occlusion. This study compares a new Direct to Angio Suite (DTAS) workflow using Cone-Beam CT (CBCT) triage directly in the interventional suite versus the conventional workflow where patients first get a CT or MRI scan before treatment. The goal is to see if the DTAS workflow leads to better patient outcomes after stroke. The study involves two groups: one where stroke patients are diagnosed and treated in the same angio suite using CBCT capabilities for triage, and another using the traditional CT or MRI exam first followed by treatment in an interventional suite. This multi-center randomized clinical trial plans to enroll over 500 patients across more than 16 sites globally. Treatment teams and angiography suites are immediately available to support the procedures. Participants will be monitored with evaluations up to about 90 days after treatment, focusing on their functional outcome measured by the modified Rankin Scale (mRS). The study collects baseline stroke severity scores and follows patients’ recovery, safety, and functional status. Consent is obtained from patients or their representatives, and the study ensures follow-up availability for 90 days to assess the impact of the treatment workflows on stroke recovery.
