Today at the European Stroke Conference in Lisbon, Portugal, Stryker announced the results of the TREVO 2 clinical trial. The study met the primary effectiveness endpoint, with the Trevo® Retriever achieving significantly better post-device revascularization than the Merci® Retriever (86.4% in the Trevo® Retriever arm compared to 60% in the Merci® Retriever arm). The rates of functional independence at 90 days for patients treated with the Trevo Retriever were also better than for the Merci® Retriever (40% mRS less than or equal to 2 compared to 21.8%). Other measures of performance also strongly favored the Trevo Retriever, including improvement in the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and shorter hospital stays.
