Thrombus extraction system for removing vascular clots
The patent US12023057B2 describes a thrombus extraction system designed for the effective removal of vascular thrombi from a patient's blood vessels. The system comprises a catheter with a lumen and a distal end, an aspiration pump that generates negative pressure within the catheter, and a shaft that can slide within the catheter. At the distal end of the shaft is a self-expanding filter body made of a permeable mesh, which is designed to conform to the inner wall of the blood vessel when deployed. This filter body captures thrombolytic material that is broken apart by a thrombus engagement member, which is positioned distally of the filter body and can slide longitudinally to disrupt the thrombus.
Additionally, the patent outlines a method for capturing and removing a vascular thrombus. This involves positioning the aspiration catheter near the thrombus, deploying the filter body to conform to the vessel's diameter, and using a separator to disrupt the thrombus material. The method emphasizes the application of negative pressure through the catheter's lumen to facilitate the capture of thrombolytic material by the filter body. The separator can be moved linearly and expanded to adapt to the blood vessel's diameter, enhancing its effectiveness in breaking apart the thrombus. The system and method aim to improve the efficiency and safety of thrombus removal procedures in clinical settings.
