Design

Single arm prospective

Scope

Patients 21-85 y.o. presenting with an acute ischemic stroke from imaging-confrimed LVO in the anterior cerebral circulation within 90min from arteriotomy, Aspect ≥ 6 and NIHSS ≥ 5, within 8 hrs of symptom onset or last known well. Those eligible to be treated with SOFIA™ Flow Plus 6F as 1st line treatment.

Purpose

To assess safety and efficacy of SOFIA Flow Plus 6F used for first-line aspiration in anterior circulation LVO stroke patients.

Endpoints

Proportion of patients with vascular recanalization defined as mTICI≥2b at the end of the procedure per Core Lab evaluation

Efficacy results

At the end of procedure:

  • mTICI≥2b= 97.2%

  • mTICI≥2c= 85.2%

  • mTICI 3=55.6%

With SOFIA 6F 1st line aspiration:

  • mTICI≥2b= 87.0%

  • mTICI≥2c= 79.6%

  • mTICI 3= 52.8%

  • FPE (TICI3)= 50.9%

  • FPE (mTICI≥2b)= 75.0%

Median times:

  • From arteriotomy to clot contact: 12 min

  • From arteriotomy to mTICI≥2b: 17 min

Safety results

  • Symptomatic within 24 hours = 0.9%

  • Vessel perforation = 0.9%

  • ENTs = 0%

At 3 months:

  • all cause mortality = 7.4%

At 3 months:

  • mRS 0-2 = 66.7%
