EmboTrap II clot retriever for re-opening blocked brain arteries in acute ischemic stroke

Official title: Multicentric Observational Prospective Study on the Use of the EmboTrap ® II Revascularization Device (Neuravi) in Acute Ischemic Stroke

Run by Niguarda Hospital · NCT03601702 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This registry will see if the EmboTrap II clot retriever can safely and effectively reopen large blocked brain arteries in adults with acute ischemic stroke treated within 12 hours.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults with anterior or posterior proximal large‑vessel occlusions (up to A1, M1, dominant M2, P1), ASPECTS ≥ 6, evidence of mismatch or good collaterals on imaging, groin puncture within 12 hours, and informed consent to be treated with EmboTrap II.

Probably not a fit

Patients with extracranial or tandem occlusions, poor baseline imaging (low ASPECTS or unfavorable collaterals), presentation beyond 12 hours, or who cannot receive or consent to EmboTrap II thrombectomy are unlikely to benefit from this registry.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Registrap is a prospective, single-arm, multicenter observational registry enrolling at least 100 consecutive patients with large-vessel occlusion who are treated with the CE‑marked EmboTrap II device as first intention. Participating European neurointerventional centers are required to have prior EmboTrap II experience and a high annual stroke procedure volume, and treatments follow the device Instructions for Use. A screening log will capture all thrombectomy cases during enrollment to document device selection and potential operator selection bias. Clinical, imaging, procedural, and safety outcomes are recorded prospectively to characterize real‑world device performance within 12 hours of symptom onset.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, results could increase confidence in using EmboTrap II to reopen blocked arteries and improve recovery after large‑vessel stroke.

How similar studies have gone: Mechanical thrombectomy with stent retrievers has strong randomized-trial support for large‑vessel stroke, and device‑specific registries and studies of EmboTrap II and comparable devices have reported favorable recanalization and safety outcomes.
