A post-market study evaluating the NIMBUS Device in acute ischemic stroke patients with confirmed intracranial large vessel occlusion.
The objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of the NIMBUS Device. The study will also report on clot characteristics and clinical outcomes.

Percentage of Participants With Successful Revascularization With NIMBUS Device
Successful revascularization was defined as achieving an modified thrombolysis in cerebrovascular infarction (mTICI) score of 2b or greater as determined by an Independent Core Laboratory. The expanded treatment in cerebral infarction (eTICI) score was a modified from the mTICI scale. eTICI was a 6-point grading system for determining the response of thrombolytic therapy for ischemic stroke: 0=No reperfusion; 0 percent (%) filling of the downstream territory; 1=Thrombus reduction without any reperfusion of distal arteries; 2a=Reperfusion in less than half (1-49%) of the territory; 2b=2b50 (reperfusion in \[50-66%\] of downstream territory) and 2b67 (reperfusion in (67-89%) of downstream territory); 2c=Reperfusion in \[90-99%\] of downstream territory; 3=Complete and 100% reperfusion.
Time frame: Day 1
Percentage of Participants With Successful Procedural Revascularization
Successful procedural revascularization was defined as achieving an mTICI score of 2b or greater at the end of procedure as determined by an Independent Core Laboratory. The eTICI score was a modified from the mTICI scale. eTICI was a 6-point grading system for determining the response of thrombolytic therapy for ischemic stroke: 0=No reperfusion; 0% filling of the downstream territory; 1=Thrombus reduction without any reperfusion of distal arteries; 2a=Reperfusion in less than half (1-49%) of the territory; 2b=2b50 (reperfusion in \[50-66%\] of downstream territory) and 2b67 (reperfusion in \[67-89%\] of downstream territory); 2c=Reperfusion in \[90-99%\] of downstream territory; 3=Complete and 100% reperfusion.
Time frame: Day 1
Percentage of Participants With Excellent Procedural Revascularization
Excellent procedural revascularization was defined as achieving an mTICI score of 2c or greater at the end of procedure as determined by an Independent Core Laboratory. The eTICI score was a modified from the mTICI scale. eTICI was a 6-point grading system for determining the response of thrombolytic therapy for ischemic stroke: 0=No reperfusion; 0% filling of the downstream territory; 1=Thrombus reduction without any reperfusion of distal arteries; 2a=Reperfusion in less than half (1-49%) of the territory; 2b=2b50 (reperfusion in \[50-66%\] of downstream territory) and 2b67 (reperfusion in \[67-89%\] of downstream territory); 2c=Reperfusion in (90-99%) of downstream territory; 3=Complete and 100% reperfusion.

Time frame: Day 1
Percentage of Participants With First Pass Revascularization Using NIMBUS Device
First Pass revascularization was defined as achieving an mTICI score of 2b or greater after the first use of NIMBUS device as determined by an Independent Core Laboratory. The eTICI score was a modified from the mTICI scale. eTICI was a 6-point grading system for determining the response of thrombolytic therapy for ischemic stroke: 0=No reperfusion; 0% filling of the downstream territory; 1=Thrombus reduction without any reperfusion of distal arteries; 2a=Reperfusion in less than half (1-49%) of the territory; 2b=2b50 (reperfusion in \[50-66%\] of downstream territory) and 2b67 (reperfusion in \[67-89%\] of downstream territory); 2c=Reperfusion in (90-99%) of downstream territory; 3=Complete and 100% reperfusion.
Time frame: Day 1
Percentage of Participants With Embolization to a New Territory (ENT)
Percentage of participants with ENT was reported.
Time frame: Day 1
Percentage of Participants With Symptomatic Intracerebral Hemorrhage (sICH) According to the Heidelberg Bleeding Classification (HBC)
Percentage of participants with sICH according to the HBC was reported. sICH was defined as new intracranial hemorrhage detected by brain imaging associated with any of the item: greater than or equal to (\>=) 4 points total National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) at the time of diagnosis compared to immediately before worsening; \>=2 point in one NIHSS category. The rationale for this was to capture new hemorrhages that produce new neurological symptoms, making them clearly symptomatic but not causing worsening in the original stroke territory; leading to intubation/hemicraniectomy/external ventricular drain (EVD) placement or other major medical/surgical intervention; absence of alternative explanation for deterioration.
Time frame: Day 1
Number of Participants With All-Cause Mortality
Number of participants with all-cause mortality at 90 days post-procedure on Day 0 was reported. All-cause mortality included all deaths of participants due to any cause.
Time frame: Up to Day 90
Percentage of Participants With Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) Score of Less Than or Equal to (<=) 2
Percentage of participants with mRS score of \<=2 was reported. The mRS was a 7-point scale that ranged from 0 to 6 where 0=no symptoms at all; 1=no significant disability despite symptoms; 2=slight disability; 3=moderate disability; 4=moderately severe disability; 5=severe disability; 6=death.
Time frame: Up to Day 90
