In collaboration with the Neurointerventional programs at state university of new york
Buffalo, state university of new york Stonybrook, Swedish Medical Center, Erlanger Health
System, Vanderbilt University, and West Virginia University School of Medicine, the
investigators aim to prospectively collect experiences where direct aspiration as a first
pass technique is used for thrombectomy procedures.
The investigators also want to compare specific characteristics from these cases to other
stroke cases where traditional thrombectomy devices were used.

Traditionally, at a physician's discretion, first pass attempts at thrombectomy procedures
are performed with any number of FDA cleared catheters, guide wires, and devices designed for
efficient removal of clot within an intracranial vessel. Among institutions involved in this
case study, the latest devices are readily available and fully support standard treatment
paradigms.
However, several cases, recently completed, using only large bore catheter and aspiration
have anecdotally demonstrated a superior ability to remove clot from vessels, restoring blood
flow to the affected vessel and brain tissue. In these limited number of cases, full
restoration of blood flow has been achieved. While this combination of approved devices is
minimalistic, the efficiency of the procedure, rapid technical success, and relative
simplicity of the approach is unique and should be thoroughly reviewed and possibly prepared
for publication.

Inclusion Criteria:
- All patients who were treated with direct aspiration as a first pass choice or treated
with a stent retriever will be included.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients not treated with either direct aspiration as a first pass, or stent retriever
will not be included.
