Intravascular clot treatment method using catheters and pressure source
A newly filed patent (Publication Number: US20230390045A1) outlines a method for treating clot material within a patient's vasculature. The method involves positioning a catheter near the clot, aspirating the clot material and blood into a clot container with a filter, and then using a pressure source to draw the filtered blood into the container. The filtered blood is then driven through a second catheter back into the vasculature. Additional steps include decoupling the clot container from the catheter before activating the pressure source, using a syringe as the pressure source, and removing the filter from the clot container to clear the clot material.
Furthermore, the method includes selectively providing fluid access to the catheter via a hemostasis valve, which can be controlled by adjusting the tension on a filament. The clot container is fluidically coupled to the catheter through a fluid control device that allows for the aspiration of clot material and blood. The patent also describes using an electric pump as the aspiration source, ensuring the clot container has a larger volume than the aspiration source, and utilizing user-actuatable valves for fluid control. Overall, this patent presents a detailed method for effectively treating clot material within a patient's vasculature, offering a comprehensive approach to managing this medical condition.
