MindFrame Initiates Ischemic Stroke Registry

December 23, 2011—MindFrame Inc. (Irvine, CA) announced the establishment of an ischemic stroke registry that will collect real-world clinical and procedural data through a secure Web-based portal that is only accessible to registered clinician members.

According to MindFrame, the goal of the registry is to support clinicians in advancing knowledge regarding the use of mechanical thrombectomy technologies for treating ischemic stroke. The registry builds upon the initial PRIISM clinical trial and the successes reported with the MindFrame Capture LP device.

The MindFrame Capture LP device is designed to be compatible with any microcatheter (10/14 or greater) to treat ischemic stroke patients with microcatheter-based flow restoration and clot extraction. The low-profile design allows access to distal areas and through tortuous anatomies, as well as increased aspiration, both locally and proximally. MindFrame devices are not approved for sale in the United States, advised the company.

“I am excited by the outstanding clinical results that I have been able to attain with the MindFrame Capture LP device, which has allowed me to rapidly restore blood flow and preserve brain function,” commented Prof. Tommy Andersson, MD. “The collection of this clinical data within a registry will be important in fostering rapid technological innovation that will ultimately benefit our ischemic stroke patients.”
