Intravascular treatment of clot material using aspiration catheter
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11998436B2) discloses a method for treating clot material within a patient's vasculature. The method involves positioning an aspiration catheter near the clot, fluidly coupling chambers, and using a filter to separate blood from the clot material. By generating negative pressure and then opening a valve, blood and clot material are rapidly aspirated into a chamber for filtering. The filtered blood is then reintroduced back into the patient's vasculature, potentially aiding in the treatment of conditions such as pulmonary embolisms or deep vein thrombosis.
Furthermore, the method includes additional steps such as directing the filtered blood through the aspiration catheter, providing fluid access via a hemostasis valve, and removing the filter to clear the clot material from the chamber. The design also allows for the removal and reinsertion of the second chamber between the aspiration pump and catheter, showcasing a versatile and potentially efficient treatment approach. Overall, this patented method offers a comprehensive and structured approach to treating clot material within a patient's vasculature, with potential applications in various clot-related conditions.
