- Successful Revascularization [ Time Frame: 1 day ]Assess cerebral revascularization using the modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction (mTICI) score at the end of the procedure.
- All-Cause Mortality [ Time Frame: 90 days ]Summary of all mortality regardless of cause at 90 days post-procedure.
- Symptomatic Intracerebral Hemorrhage [ Time Frame: 24 hours ]Rate of intracranial hemorrhage as detected by brain imaging (CT/MR) measured 24 hours after intervention
- Functional Independence [ Time Frame: 90 days ]
Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) of ≤ 2
Modified Rankin Score (Scale from 0-6):
0 - No symptoms.

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Sampling Method: | Non-Probability Sample |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Age ≥ 18
- The participant or the participant's legally authorized representative has signed and dated an Informed Consent Form. In the event that local regulations allow for alternative approaches of consent, these must be fulfilled as approved by the sponsor and site's ethics committee/regulatory authority (if applicable)
- Participants experiencing acute ischemic stroke with angiographic confirmation of Large Vessel Occlusion (LVO)
- A clinical decision has been made to use a CERENOVUS neurothrombectomy device (EmboTrap® Revascularization Device and/or Large Bore Catheter/EMBOVAC Aspiration Catheter) independently and prior to enrollment in the research study
- A CERENOVUS neurothrombectomy device is the first attempted primary device/technique for mechanical thrombectomy for the intracranial occlusion in the participant. The following primary devices/techniques are eligible for this study: a) EmboTrap® Revascularization Device alone b) EmboTrap® Revascularization Device + co-aspiration with the Large Bore Catheter/EMBOVAC Aspiration Catheter c) EmboTrap® Revascularization Device + co-aspiration with any other aspiration catheter d) Large Bore Catheter/EMBOVAC Aspiration Catheter alone (that is, direct aspiration with no stent retriever in the first attempted technique)
Exclusion Criteria:
- Currently participating in an investigational (drug, device, etc) clinical trial that may confound study endpoints. Patients in observational, natural history, and/or epidemiological studies not involving intervention are eligible
- Confirmation of positive pregnancy test according to site specific standard of care (example, test, verbal communication)
