13. If the procedure will start between 16 and 24 hours after the time last seen well, the occlusion site is identified as ICA or MCA (M1) as evidenced by MRA or CTA, and (i) Clinical Imaging Mismatch (CIM) is defined as one of the following on MR-DWI or CTP-rCBF maps:

    1. Age < 80; infarct core ≤30 ml if NIHSS ≥10;
    2. Age < 80; infarct core 31 to 50 ml if NIHSS ≥20; or

Exclusion Criteria:

- 1. Patients having allergy or contraindication to contrast agents or significant allergy to metals 2. Patients who have been administered heparin within 48 hours and PTT/ APTT exceeded double the normal values* 3. Patients with known hemorrhagic diathesis, OR blood clotting factor deficiency OR patient who underwent oral anticoagulant therapy (warfarin etc.), patient whose INR exceeds 3* 4. Patients with the platelet count under 30,000 mm3 5. Patients with a blood sugar level under 50 mg/dL 6. Patients with hypertension (systolic >185 mmHg, diastolic >110 mmHg) which cannot be controlled by drugs 7. Patients whose estimated life expectancy is less than 6 months 8. Pregnant OR lactating female patients 9. Patients participating in trials of medical products OR medical devices 10. Patients who were judged as inappropriate to participate in this trial due to reasons other than those mentioned above by the principal investigator (sub-investigator) for the study 11. Pre-existing neurological or psychiatric disease that would confound the neurological or functional evaluations, e.g. dementia with prescribed anti-cholinesterase inhibitor (e.g. Aricept) 12. Seizures at stroke onset if it makes the diagnosis of stroke doubtful and precludes obtaining an accurate baseline NIHSS assessment 13. Baseline hemoglobin counts of <7 mmol/L (11.28 g/dL) 14. Abnormal baseline electrolyte parameters as defined by sodium concentration <130 mmol/L, potassium concentration <3 mEq/L or >6 mEq/L 15. Renal failure as defined by a serum creatinine >3.0 mg/dL (264 µmol/L) 16. Any active or recent hemorrhage within the past 30 days 17. Presumed septic embolus, or suspicion of bacterial endocarditis 18. Treatment with any cleared thrombectomy devices or other intra-arterial (neurovascular) therapies prior to the procedure 19. Evidence of intracranial hemorrhage on pre-treatment CT/MRI 20. CTA or MRA evidence of flow limiting carotid dissection, high-grade stenosis, or complete cervical carotid occlusion requiring stenting at the time of the index procedure (i.e., mechanical thrombectomy).

21. Excessive tortuosity of cervical vessels on CTA/MRA that would likely preclude device delivery/deployment 22. Suspected cerebral vasculitis based on medical history and CTA/MRA 23. Suspected aortic dissection based on medical history and CTA/MRA 24. Intracranial stent implanted in the same vascular territory that would preclude the safe deployment/removal of the investigational device 25. Acute symptomatic arterial occlusions in more than one vascular territory confirmed on CTA/MRA (e.g., bilateral MCA occlusions, or an MCA and basilar artery occlusion).
