Data from Patients Treated with the Zoom Aspiration Catheter for Ischemic Stroke Demonstrate High Rates of Reperfusion and Success
The Zoom Stroke Solution (Imperative Care, Campbell, CA), a system for accessing and removing clots in patients with ischemic stroke, was shown to be safe and effective in clinical data from the Neurovascular Quality Initiative-Quality Outcome Database (NVQI-QOD) presented at the 30th Annual Meeting of the Society for NeuroInterventional Surgery (SNIS). The data specifically showed high rates of successful reperfusion with the use of the Zoom Aspiration Catheter (Imperative Care, Campbell, CA), which utilizes a unique angled tip design for greater clot engagement.
The data were collected from 211 individuals who received treatment with Zoom Aspiration Catheters for their large or medium-sized vessel occlusions. A technique employing aspiration combined with stent-retrieval was used in 32.2% of the patients, while an aspiration-first technique was used in 67.8%. A Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction (TICI) scale reperfusion score of 2b or greater was observed in 91.9% of treated patients, and 59.2% of patients showed a score of 2c or greater, denoting near-complete or full perfusion.
"These real-world data demonstrate that treatment with the Zoom Aspiration Catheters led to high rates of successful reperfusion in patients with ischemic stroke, with no safety concerns," said Mahesh Jayaraman, MD, who presented these data to the SNIS. "We look forward to future NVQI-QOD efforts to analyze valuable real-world data and evaluate the safety and effectiveness of new and promising technologies in the space."
NVQI-QOD is a database founded by the SNIS, the American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS), and the Society of Vascular and Interventional Neurology (SVIN) to improve stroke care through data collection and evaluation for regulatory pipelines.
