THUNDER: Acute Ischemic Stroke Study

This study aims to test a new medical device called the Penumbra System with Thunderbolt Aspiration Tubing. It's for people having an acute ischemic stroke, which is a type of stroke where a large blood vessel in the brain is blocked. The Penumbra System helps remove the blockage. The study will check if this device is safe and works well.

Eligibility: You can join if you are 18-80 years old, have a stroke due to a blocked large blood vessel, and can be treated within 8 hours of stroke symptoms starting. You must also give informed consent, which means you agree to be in the study after understanding what it involves.

Exclusion: You cannot join if you have other serious health issues, are pregnant, or are in another study that might affect this one.

  • The study requires treatment within 8 hours of stroke symptoms.
  • Participants must be able to consent to the study.
  • Joining another study may affect eligibility for this one.
