WHAT IS REPERFUSION INJURY

Reperfusion injury is tissue damage that occurs when blood flow returns to the brain after a period of ischemia (restricted blood flow), such as in an ischemic stroke. The sudden restoration of oxygen-rich blood can trigger harmful biological responses. These include oxidative stress and inflammation. Together, they can worsen injury in tissue already weakened by lack of oxygen.
 
Current stroke treatments, such as aspiration and mechanical thrombectomy, are highly effective at removing clots and reopening blocked vessels. However, they do not address the damaging effects of reperfusion itself.
 
Clot removal is a critical first step in improving patient outcomes. Still, many patients do not achieve full recovery, even after successful recanalization. This gap suggests that restoring blood flow alone is not enough. Preventing reperfusion injury is essential for better long-term outcomes.

UNMET CLINICAL NEED​

Of those patients who undergo “successful” thrombectomy (76,000 Cases alone in the USA by 2028), unfortunately only approximately 46% achieve a positive outcome. 

The remaining 54% do not attain good outcomes despite timely and complete recanalization. This poor outcome is linked to reperfusion injury.

The majority of stroke-related healthcare costs are driven by patients with poor outcomes, primarily due to long-term disability. This represents a significant market opportunity exceeding $20 billion in the United States alone.
