1. The Solitaire™ 2 and Solitaire ™ Platinum Revascularization Devices is indicated for use to restore blood flow in the neurovasculature by removing thrombus for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke to reduce disability in patients with a persistent, proximal anterior circulation, large vessel occlusion, and smaller core infarcts who have first received intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV t-PA). Endovascular therapy with the device should be started within 6 hours of symptom onset.
2. The Solitaire™ 2 and Solitaire ™ Platinum Revascularization Devices is indicated to restore blood flow by removing thrombus from a large intracranial vessel in patients experiencing ischemic stroke within 8 hours of symptom onset. Patients who are ineligible for [V t-PA or who fail [V t-PA therapy are candidates for treatment.
