ACUTE ISCHEMIC STROKE (AIS) TREATMENT

Studies prove the Solitaire™ revascularisation device reduces stroke-related disability in patients suffering large vessel AIS following
IV t-PA.2-6

REVIEW CLINICAL STUDIES

SUPPORTED BY GUIDELINES

ESC Atrial Fibrillation Guidelines recommend long-term cardiac monitoring for cryptogenic stroke patients.7
