Devices, systems, and methods for treating vascular defects are disclosed herein. One aspect of the present technology, for example, is directed toward an occlusive device comprising a coil having a proximal end, a distal end, and a longitudinal axis extending therebetween. The coil may be formed of an elongated member wound about the longitudinal axis of the coil in a series of contiguous loops, wherein each of the loops extend around the longitudinal axis between a first end and a second end. The second end may be disposed at generally the same angular position as the first end about to the longitudinal axis of the coil. The elongated member may undulate along its longitudinal axis between the first and second ends of at least some of the individual loops.

Aneurysm treatment coils and associated systems and methods of use

Retrieval of material from vessel lumens can be improved by electrically enhancing attachment of the material to the removal device. The removal device can have a core assembly that includes a hypotube coupled to a first electrical terminal and a pushwire coupled to a second electrical terminal, the pushwire extending through the hypotube lumen. An insulating layer separates the hypotube and the pushwire, and an interventional element is coupled to a distal end of the pushwire. The interventional element can be disposed adjacent to a thrombus. An electrical signal is delivered to the interventional element to promote adhesion of the thrombus to the interventional element. The electrical signal can optionally be a periodic waveform, and the total energy delivered can be between 0.75-24,000 mJ and the peak current delivered via the electrical signal can be between 0.5-5 mA.

Electrically enhanced retrieval of material from vessel lumens

Devices, systems, and methods for treating vascular defects are disclosed herein. One aspect of the present technology, for example, includes an occlusive device comprising a mesh having a low-profile state for intravascular delivery to the aneurysm and a deployed state, the mesh comprising a first end portion, a second end portion, and a length extending between the first and second end portions, and a first lateral edge, a second lateral edge, and a width extending between the first and second lateral edges. The mesh may have a predetermined shape in the deployed state in which (a) the mesh is curved along its width, (b) the mesh is curved along its length, and (c) the mesh has an undulating contour across at least a portion of one or both of its length or its width. The mesh is configured to be positioned within the aneurysm in the deployed state such that the mesh extends over the neck of the aneurysm.

The occlusive device may comprise an elongated member wound about the longitudinal axis to form a series of loops, wherein along at least some of the loops, the elongated member includes a first peak and a second peak axially offset from the first peak, the first peak being axially between the second peak and the proximal end. The first peak may be convex towards the distal end, and the second peak may be convex towards the proximal end.
