The SOFAST study assessed the SOFIA™ Flow Plus Aspiration Catheter (SOFIA 6F) for treating acute ischemic stroke caused by large vessel occlusion. This U.S. Prospective, multicenter study involved 108 patients and aimed to confirm the catheter’s safety, speed and effectiveness in revascularization. The long-standing legacy of SOFIA is reinforced by the important data points observed in this publication emphasizing the following:

  • Speed: 12-minute median groin puncture to clot contact time and 17-minute median groin puncture to recanalization time.
  • Efficacy: 75% First Pass mTICI≥2b using SOFIA 6F.
  • Safety: 0% embolization to new territories and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage rate within 24h.
  • Clinical Outcomes: 66.7% of patients experienced good functional outcomes at 90 days.

Please reference the publication for a comprehensive set of data points and outcomes.

“The efficacy and safety data from this prospective, multi-center, independent core-lab adjudicated SOFAST study are very impressive and sets a new innovation standard. High rates of mTICI≥2b (97.2%) revascularization at the procedure end, 70.4% rate of mTICI 2c or better after the first pass, median time to recanalization of 17 minutes and 66.7% rate of good clinical outcomes are amongst the very best metrics reported with contemporary thrombectomy devices,” said Dr. Dheeraj Gandhi, Vice Chairman for Academic Affairs; Director, Interventional Neuroradiology; Director, CMIT Center (Center for Metabolic Imaging and Therapeutics); Professor of Radiology, Neurology and Neurosurgery, University of Maryland School of Medicine.

“The SOFAST Study further underscores that our SOFIA™ Aspiration Catheters have set the standard for more than a decade with its renowned trackability, speed and now with further proven clinical performance,” said Carsten Schroeder, President and CEO, MicroVention, Inc. “We will continue to participate in critical clinical research such as SOFAST, work side-by-side with leading physicians around the world to identify the evolving needs in patient care, and then transform those insights into innovative technologies that help to save patient lives.”

MicroVention also recently celebrated a decade of legacy innovation commemorating the anniversary of SOFIA™ and SOFIA™ Flow Plus Aspiration Catheters, with more than half a million worldwide procedures performed across 170 countries, and 30+ articles published globally since it was first introduced more than ten years ago. Designed for speed to target, clot engagement, kink resistance and a confident first pass, SOFIA Flow Plus Aspiration Catheters continue to set the pace in treating acute ischemic stroke.

From access to revascularization, MicroVention now offers a fully integrated and streamlined portfolio of stroke solutions including SOFIA™, SOFIA™ Flow Plus Aspiration Catheters, as well as ERIC™ Retrieval Device, BOBBY™ Balloon Guide Catheter, WEDGE™ Microcatheter, HEADWAY™ Microcatheters and TRAXCESS™ Guidewires.
