Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years to 80 Years (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patient age ≥ 18 and ≤ 80
- Supratentorial ICH of volume ≥ 20 and ≤ 80 cc (measured using A x B X C/2 method)
- Hemostasis as confirmed by no arterial spot sign (may perform additional scan(s) every 6 hours to demonstrate hemostasis)
- NIHSS ≥ 6
- GCS ≥ 5 and ≤ 15
- Historical mRS 0 or 1
- Symptom onset < 24 hours prior to initial CT/MR
- MIS must be initiated within 72 hours of ictus/bleed
- SBP must be < 180 mmHg and controlled at this level for at least 6 hours
Exclusion Criteria:
-
Imaging
- "Arterial Spot Sign" identified on final CTA indicating expanding hemorrhage
- Hemorrhagic lesion such as a vascular malformation (cavernous malformation, AVM etc.), aneurysm, and/or neoplasm
- Hemorrhagic conversion of an underlying ischemic stroke
- Infratentorial hemorrhage
- Primary thalamic ICH (where the center of the hemorrhage emulates from the thalamus)
- Associated intra-ventricular hemorrhage requiring treatment for IVH-related mass effect or shift due to trapped ventricle (EVD for ICP management is allowed)
- Midbrain extension/involvement
- Absolute contraindication to CTA, conventional angiography and MRA
-
Coagulation Issues
- Absolute requirement for long-term anti-coagulation (e.g., mechanical valve replacement (bio-prostatic valve is permitted), high risk atrial fibrillation)
- Known hereditary or acquired hemorrhagic diathesis, coagulation factor deficiency
- Platelet count < 100 x 10^3 cells/mm3 or known platelet dysfunction
- INR > 1.4, elevated prothrombin time or activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), which cannot be corrected or otherwise accounted for (i.e., lupus anti-coagulant)
- Use of direct factor Xa inhibitors (e.g. apixaban, rivaroxaban, fondaparinux) within last 48 hours
-
Patient Factors
- Traumatic ICH
- High risk atrial fibrillation (e.g., mitral stenosis with atrial fibrillation) and/or symptomatic carotid stenosis
- Requirement for emergent surgical decompression or uncontrolled ICP after EVD
- Unable to obtain consent per Institution Review Board/Ethics Committee policy
- Pregnancy or positive pregnancy test (either serum or urine). Women of child-bearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test prior to enrollment
- Severe active infection requiring treatment (e.g. sepsis or purulent wound) at the time of enrollment
- Renal failure indicated by creatinine > 2 mg/dL or undergoing dialysis
- Any comorbid disease or condition expected to compromise survival or ability to complete follow-up assessments through 365 days
- Based on investigator's judgement, patient is unwilling or unable to comply with protocol follow up appointment schedule
- Active drug or alcohol use or dependence that, in the opinion of the site investigator would interfere with adherence to study requirements
- Currently participating in another interventional (drug, device, etc) clinical trial. Patients in observational, natural history, and/or epidemiological studies not involving intervention are eligible.
