Abstract Number: Esoc2026a1149 Final Results of the Marrs Pivotal Study: Impact of a Novel 0.088” Corrugated Superbore Aspiration Catheter on Reperfusion in Large Vessel Occlusions

Abstract Background and aims The Millipede AspiRation for Revascularization in Stroke (MARRS) pivotal study was a prospective, single-arm investigation to assess the performance and safety of the Millipede System in subjects with acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion (LVO) within 8 hours. This is the first presentation of the final study results. Methods Enrolment occurred at 22 US and European sites. 180 subjects with ICA, M1, M2, and basilar artery occlusions were treated. To meet FDA study requirements, users measured the target vessel and selected the catheter size ensuring the vessel diameter exceeded ≥2.74 mm for Millipede88 and ≥2.21 mm for Millipede70, respectively. Results Median age was 69 years, 51% were male, with mean baseline NIHSS 17 and ASPECTS 8.6. M1 was the most common occlusion location (62%). Direct first-pass aspiration was performed using Millipede88 and Millipede70 in 115 and 64 subjects, respectively. Successful delivery of Superbore Millipede88 was 96%. In M1 occlusions, the FPE rate (mTICI ≥2c) with Millipede88 was 77% (PP). Overall Millipede88 FPE rate was 61% (PP), exceeding prior meta-analyses and large registries (27.0–46.6%). A final mTICI ≥2c rate of 85% was achieved (PP). Rates of sICH and intracranial dissection were low (2.3% and 1.1%, ITT). No significant differences in reperfusion success were observed between higher and lower-enrolling sites. 56% of patients treated with Millipede88 on first-pass (PP) achieved mRS 0-2 at 90 days. Conclusions Millipede88 achieved the highest reperfusion rates reported among prospective thrombectomy trials to date. Outcomes were particularly favorable in M1 occlusions, likely reflecting optimal vessel-to-catheter diameter matching. Conflict of interest Raul G.
