The DISTALS Study is testing a new device called the **Tigertriever 13** to help improve blood flow in the brain after a type of stroke called an **ischemic stroke**. An ischemic stroke happens when a blood clot blocks a blood vessel in the brain. The study checks if this device is better than usual medical treatments. People can join if they are aged 18-85, have certain stroke symptoms, and meet other health checks.

Some people cannot join, like those who have had a stroke recently, have certain health issues like **hemorrhage** (bleeding in the brain), are pregnant, or have used certain medications. The study needs participants who haven't used other treatments for this condition.

• This study lasts up to 24 hours from stroke onset and requires a follow-up at 3 months.
• No compensation is mentioned for participants.
• Risks include health checks before joining, like blood tests and scans.

To join, participants must sign a consent form, which means they agree to be part of the study and understand what it involves. This study could help improve future stroke treatments.
