Stroke, Ischemic | Device: Penumbra System |
Registry Objective: The primary objective of this registry is to collect real-world performance and safety data on Penumbra System including the 3D Revascularization Device in a patient population with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) secondary to intracranial large vessel occlusion (LVO).
Registry Design: This will be a prospective, single-arm, multi-center observational registry and will include patients that present with either anterior or posterior LVO who are eligible for mechanical thrombectomy using the Penumbra System.
Registry Duration: Subjects will be in the registry for approximately 90 days from enrollment to last follow-up.

- mTICI Score [ Time Frame: Post Procedure ]
Angiographic revascularization of the occluded target vessel at immediate post-procedure as defined by a modified treatment in cerebral infarction (mTICI) score 2b or higher.
mTICI scale ranges 0 to 3 higher values represent better outcomes.
- Functional Subject Outcome [ Time Frame: 90 days post ]
Functional subject outcome at 90 days post-procedure as defined by a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) 0-2.
mRS scale ranges 0 to 6 higher values represent a worse outcome.
- All-cause mortality at 90 days [ Time Frame: 90 days ]All-cause mortality at 90 days
- Incidence of device and procedure related Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) [ Time Frame: Within 24 hours of procedure ]
- Occurrence of embolization in previously uninvolved (or new) territories (ENT) [ Time Frame: During Procedure ]Occurrence of embolization in previously uninvolved (or new) territories (ENT) as seen on the final control angiogram at the end of procedure
- Occurrence of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhages (sICH) [ Time Frame: 24 Hours Post Procedure ]
- Time to Revascularization [ Time Frame: During Procedure ]
- Length of hospital stay [ Time Frame: Through discharge, up to study completion at approximately 90 days ]
- Discharge Facility [ Time Frame: Through discharge, up to study completion at approximately 90 days ]
