This is a prospective, multi-center, non-randomized, observational registry of acute ischemic stroke patients that have or will undergo treatment with the use of a Covidien market-released neurothrombectomy device (as the initial device used to remove the thrombus) within 8 hours of stroke symptom onset, at the discretion of the investigator and independent of participation in this registry. This registry may enroll up to 1000 patients.
