Summary
Stroke prognosis is intimately related to reperfusion. Reperfusion in acute setting can be
achieved with different strategies - varying from intravenous rtPA from mechanical
thrombectomy. Recently, interventional approaches have been gaining attention and playing an
increasing role in stroke care. However, no solid scientifical data is available to date. The
investigators want do conduct a pilot trial to test if the use of the Penumbra™ System can
improve clinical outcomes in a specific stroke setting.
