Abstract
Background: Contact aspiration thrombectomy (CAT) using a large-bore aspiration catheter is
increasingly performed as one of the major endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) methods around
the world. Contact aspiration thrombectomy has been shown to be safe and effective for removal
of clots in a recent randomized controlled trial which compared contact aspiration thrombectomy
and stent retriever thrombectomy as a first line thrombectomy.
Aim of the study: To evaluate contact aspiration thrombectomy clinical outcomes at 90 days as
compared to best medical management alone in subjects experiencing an acute ischemic stroke
due to proximal anterior circulation large vessel occlusion when treatment is initiated within 24 h
after last time seen well.
