+Arms and interventions

ArmTypeInterventionsDescription
Patients with ischemic strokeDevice: Mechanical thrombectomy
Patients with intracranial hematomaOther: Minimally invasive surgery
  • Mechanical thrombectomy (Device): 1. Clot specimen collection 2. Extracranial blood collection
  • Minimally invasive surgery (Other): 1. Clot specimen collection 2. Arterial blood collection

+Outcome measures

Primary outcomes

  • Clot Specimen Histology [Clot specimen obtained during procedure]: Numbers of clot specimen for histology analysis
  • Blood and Clot Specimen Transcriptomics [Blood and clot specimen obtained during procedure]: Numbers of blood and clot for RNA sequency. Only includes successful sample number that was processed.
  • Blood and Clot Specimen Proteomics [Blood and clot specimen obtained during procedure]: Numbers of blood and clot specimen for proteomic analysis
  • Blood and Clot Specimen Genomics [Blood and clot specimen obtained during procedure]: Numbers of blood and clot specimen for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Only includes successful sample number that was processed.

+Eligibility

Sex: All, ages: 18 Years to any

Inclusion Criteria:

* ≥ 18 Years of Age
* Frontline treatment with: Penumbra System for ischemic stroke patients eligible for mechanical thrombectomy or Artemis Neuro Evacuation device for intracranial hematoma evacuation in patients eligible for minimally invasive surgery (MIS)
* Extracted thrombus/embolus
* Informed consent is obtained from either the patient or legally authorized representative (LAR)

Exclusion Criteria:

* Pregnancy or positive pregnancy test according to site routine practice (only required for women of child bearing potential; serum or urine acceptable)
* Currently participating in an investigational drug or device clinical trial that may confound the ability to capture clot and/or influence clot composition. Patients in observational, natural history, and/or epidemiological studies not involving intervention are eligible
