Ryan A McTaggart,Sameer A. Ansari,Mayank Goyal,Todd Abruzzo,Barb Albani,Adam J. Arthur,Michael J. Alexander,Felipe C. Albuquerque,Blaise Baxter,Ketan R. Bulsara,Michael Chen,Josser E Delgado Almandoz,Justin F. Fraser,Donald Frei,Chirag D. Gandhi,Don Heck,Steven W. Hetts,M. Shazam Hussain,Michael Kelly,Richard P. Klucznik,Seon Kyu Lee,T. M. Leslie-Mawzi,Philip M. Meyers,Charles J. Prestigiacomo,G. Lee Pride,Athos Patsalides,Robert M. Starke,Peter Sunenshine,Peter A. Rasmussen,Mahesh V Jayaraman +29 more
TL;DR: Recommendations designed to decrease the time to endovascular treatment (EVT) for appropriately selected patients with stroke and strategies that provide patients with ELVO with the fastest access to reperfusion depend upon detail-oriented process improvement.
Journal ArticleDOI

Starke,Peter Sunenshine,Donald Frei,Mahesh V Jayaraman +32 more
TL;DR: Early team awareness of the patient with potential ELVO, coupled with efficient interdisciplinary communication, triage and transport assist in meeting these ideal time metrics, and also contribute to improved clinical outcomes through efficiency gains and maximization of endovascular care delivery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Embolectomy for stroke with emergent large vessel occlusion (ELVO): report of the Standards and Guidelines Committee of the Society of NeuroInterventional Surgery
Mahesh V Jayaraman,M. Shazam Hussain,Todd Abruzzo,Barbara Albani,Felipe C. Albuquerque,Michael J. Alexander,Sameer A. Ansari,Adam S Arthur,Blaise Baxter,Ketan R. Bulsara,Michael Chen,Josser A Delgado-Almandoz,Justin F. Fraser,Don Heck,Steven W. Hetts,Michael Kelly,Seon Kyu Lee,T. M. Leslie-Mawzi,Ryan A McTaggart,Philip M. Meyers,Charles J. Prestigiacomo,G. Lee Pride,Athos Patsalides,Robert M. Starke,Robert W Tarr,Don Frei,Peter A. Rasmussen +26 more
TL;DR: The purpose of this document is to summarize the results of these trials and synthesize the level of evidence supporting the use of embolectomy in patients with ELVO, to summarized using a scale previously described by the American Heart Association.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Penumbra Stroke System: a technical review
Albert J Yoo,Don Frei,Satoshi Tateshima,Aquilla S Turk,Ferdinand K. Hui,Allan Brook,Don Heck,Joshua A Hirsch +7 more
TL;DR: With increasing experience with the Penumbra Stroke System and the 054 reperfusion catheter, there has been further improvement in TIMI 2 and 3 revascularization rates with faster times to vessel opening.
Journal ArticleDOI
The SPEED study: initial clinical evaluation of the Penumbra novel 054 Reperfusion Catheter
Don Frei,Johannes Gerber,Aquilla S Turk,Malia McPherson,Don Heck,Ferdinand K. Hui,Gregory Joseph,Reza Jahan,Laszlo Miskolczi,Jeffrey S Carpenter,Thomas Grobelny,Jim Goddard,Raymond D Turner,Dan Huddle,R Bellon,Imran Chaudry +15 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the Penumbra 054 is a fast, safe and effective revascularization tool for patients experiencing ischemic stroke secondary to large vessel occlusive disease.
