What this trial studies

This observational study aims to assess whether successful reperfusion using the Tigertriever device in patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO) leads to cognitive improvements. Patients aged 18-75 who have been treated with the Tigertriever as a first-line intervention will be included. The study will involve monitoring cognitive outcomes over a six-month follow-up period to determine any associations between the treatment and cognitive benefits. The research will help clarify the impact of this specific stroke intervention on cognitive recovery.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18-75 who have experienced a stroke due to large vessel occlusion and have no significant pre-stroke disabilities.

Not a fit: Patients with prior significant neurological conditions, such as dementia or major depression, may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide insights into improving cognitive outcomes for stroke patients treated with the Tigertriever.

How similar studies have performed: While there is ongoing research into cognitive outcomes post-stroke, this specific approach using the Tigertriever is relatively novel.

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Patients admitted with large vessel occlusion (LVO) and treated with the Tigertriever, as indicated per the approved IFU.
2. Tigertriever was used as the first line treatment in the target vessel.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Use of any other IA recanalization device prior to the Tigertriever in the target vessel, including aspiration catheter.
2. Evidence of acute brain hemorrhage on CT and/or MRI at admission.
3. Prior hemorrhage, stroke, thrombolysis, and/or endovascular therapy in the last 3 months.
4. Probable cerebral amyloid angiopathy.
5. Pre-stroke diagnosed dementia and/or prescribed cholinesterase inhibitors.
