Intervention/exposure
Study type

Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Devices - Intra-arterial Clot Retrieval with Solitaire device
Treatment: Other - intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (tPA)

Experimental: Intra-arterial Clot Retrieval after iv tPA -

Active comparator: Standard care iv tPA -


Treatment: Devices: Intra-arterial Clot Retrieval with Solitaire device
Intra-arterial mechanical clot retrieval with the Solitaire device after patients have received standard therapy with intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (tPA). Clot retrieval involves cerebral angiography and takes approximately 2 hours.

Treatment: Other: intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (tPA)
Standard care IV tPA therapy administered as per registered product information
