Rapid Medical™ Completes Enrollment in DISTALS Trial Evaluating TIGERTRIEVER 13™ for Distal Vessel Occlusions9.12.2025 16:47:00 CET | Press release
The milestone reflects growing evidence for distal-specific thrombectomy solutions and is reinforced by interim findings that confirmed no safety concerns with TIGERTRIEVER 13. Rapid Medical™, a leading developer of active endovascular devices, announces the completion of patient enrollment in the DISTALS Trial, a multicenter randomized study assessing the TIGERTRIEVER 13™ device in patients with distal medium vessel occlusions (DMVO) in acute ischemic stroke. “DMVO strokes represent up to 40% of ischemic strokes and can cause significant disability, yet their treatment has remained uncertain. Recent neutral results from ESCAPE-MEVO and DISTAL made one thing clear: distal thrombectomy requires devices and trials specifically engineered for distal vessels,” said Dr. Jeffrey Saver of UCLA in California, Principal Investigator of DISTALS. “TIGER 13 and DISTALS bring that dedicated design. Completing enrollment is a major step toward evidence that can truly advance care for these patients.
