The registry criteria, word for word

Show all 12 criteriaShow less

Who can take part

  • Age ≥ 18 years
  • Non-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage (ruptured aneurysm, AVM, or per-procedural complication etc)
  • Ruptured aneurysm, AVM, intracranial arterial perforation or any bleeding lesion secured with surgical clipping or endovascular intervention
  • No contra-indication to both CTP and MRI imaging
  • Subject or legal representative is able and willing to give informed consent
  • Refractory of intracranial arterial vasospastic stenosis requiring an endovascular angioplasty with a severe stenosis defined on CTA or DSA; and/or a significant hypoperfusion defined according to the mismatch profile in stroke or a MTT>6 seconds. The volume of critically hypoperfused tissue will be based on a time to maximum of the tissue residue function (Tmax) threshold of >6 sec using the Rapid (or equivalent) software

Who cannot take part

  • Less than 18 years of age
  • Angioplasty by one of the two methods considered as impossible or too risky by the neurointerventionist
  • Inability to obtain consent from patient or patients relatives
  • Pregnant women
  • Need to use any other device
  • Vertebro-basilar arteries will not be randomized because of the difficulty to assess the perfusion volume in this territory, but will be treated if necessary according to our local protocol
