Manufacturing an expandable body of a clot retrieval device having a first coating of radiopaque material defining a plurality of micro-columns and a second coating, the method including applying the first coating to strut elements, removing at least a portion of the first coating from at least one area of the strut elements, and cutting away regions of both the first coating and the strut elements to form an interconnected pattern of coated and uncoated regions.

Devices and methods for removal of acute blockages from blood vessels

The disclosure relates to devices and methods for the treatment of edema, which devices use a restrictor for flow compensation. Devices and methods of the invention further use a flow-restrictor in the circulatory system, upstream of an intravascular pump, to balance pressure changes induced by the pump and to compensate for downstream flow. The device may be provided as an indwelling, intravascular catheter with a mechanical pump such as an impeller and a selectively deployable restrictor such as an inflatable balloon. Congestive heart failure or edema is treated by\operating the pump in an innominate vein and using the restrictor for flow compensation, to restrict the upstream flow and thus amplify or maintain pressure reduction at the lymphatic outlet.

Devices and methods for treating edema

The disclosure relates to devices and methods for the treatment of edema using a purge-free system. The invention provides devices and methods useful for treating edema by means of an indwelling catheter that is placed in a blood vessel of a patient and used to pump blood to cause a decrease in pressure at an outlet of a lymphatic duct. The catheter pumps blood by means of an impeller but is purge-free in that the catheter does not include a system for purging or flushing catheter components with a purge fluid. The purge-free catheter avoids blood-related mechanical complications such as clotting or thrombosis by means of an impermeable sleeve or shroud that protects moving parts of the impeller drive system.

A clot retrieval device for removing occlusive clot from a blood vessel. The device comprises an inner elongate body having a collapsed delivery configuration and an expanded deployed configuration. An outer elongate body is at least partially overlying the inner elongate body. The outer elongate body is expandable to a radial extent which is greater than the radial extent of the inner body in the deployed configuration to define a clot reception space. The outer elongate body has a plurality of clot receiving openings and a plurality of clot engaging regions. The clot engaging regions are adapted, on engagement with clot, to urge clot towards the clot receiving openings and into the reception space between the outer elongate body and the inner elongate body, wherein the radial force profile of the device varies along the length of the device.

Clot retrieval device for removing occlusive clot from a blood vessel

Methods and systems for using a clot retrieval device for treating a clot in a blood vessel for use in the treatment of ischemic stroke to achieve a clinically effective revascularization or perfusion rate for clots comprising a higher ratio of red blood cells to fibrin.

Systems and methods to restore perfusion to a vessel

A clot retrieval device that includes a proximal scaffolding section with a closed proximal end and an open distal end; an inner elongate member; and a distal scaffolding section with a closed proximal end and an open distal end element. The distal scaffolding section is configured to move distally or proximally so as to capture clot between the proximal and distal scaffolding sections

A device for removing clot from a blood vessel includes a shaft. An expandable framework of struts is fixedly coupled to a distal region of the shaft. The struts can be radially expandable from a first to a second radially expanded state in a deployed configuration. An actuation cable can be connected to a plurality of connections of the engaging framework of struts to apply an expansion force, by the struts, as the struts are actuated by the actuation cable from the first radially expanded state to the second radially expanded state. In the first radially expanded state, a distal end of the struts is spaced a first axial distance away from the shaft, and wherein in the second radially expanded state, a distal end of the struts is spaced a second axial distance, different than the first axial distance, away from the shaft.

Clot retrieval device for removing a clot from a blood vessel

A clot retrieval device for removing clot from a blood vessel, including a shaft; a plurality of expandable bodies distal of the shaft, each expandable body comprising a plurality of scaffolding segments forming closed cells, wherein at least one of the clot scaffolding segments terminates in a distal apex free from connection to an adjacent closed cell; and a plurality of clot inlet mouths between expandable bodies through which clot may pass and enter the device.

Clot retrieval device for removing clot from a blood vessel

The disclosure relates to devices and methods for the treatment of edema which devices use an intravascular edema pump with an anticoagulant. The invention provides devices and methods for treating edema that use an indwelling catheter to place an impeller in a blood vessel of a patient, near an outlet of a lymphatic duct. Operating the impeller creates a local depression in blood pressure, which promotes drainage of lymph from the lymphatic system. The catheter is also used to release an anticoagulant such as heparin to wash and lubricate the impeller. Specifically, the anticoagulant inhibits clotting, hemolysis, or thrombosis from occurring and interfering with smooth operation of the impeller.

A device including a clot engaging device having a collapsed delivery configuration and an expanded deployment configuration. The device can include a plurality of struts defining a plurality of cells; a seam extending along at least a portion of a length of a distal end of the clot engaging device, wherein the seam comprises a pattern configured for gripping a clot and extends between cells of the plurality of cells; and a distal scaffolding region being distally tapered, wherein the distal scaffolding region comprises cells smaller than cells of a remainder of the clot engaging device.

Clot engagement and removal system

A reperfusion device for an occluded vessel. The device includes a framework of struts that form a porous body comprising a collapsed delivery configuration capable of being stored in a microcatheter and an expanded deployed configuration when delivered to an occlusion and distal of the microcatheter. The framework of struts is constructed from a material visible under fluoroscopy and capable of recovering its shape in the expanded deployed configuration once released from the collapsed delivery configuration in the microcatheter.

A clot retrieval device for removing clot from a blood vessel, including a shaft extending between a proximal end and a distal end; a first expandable body coupled to the distal end of the shaft, the first expandable body comprising a plurality of scaffolding segments forming closed cells, wherein at least one of the clot scaffolding segments terminates in a distal apex free from connection to an adjacent closed cell; a second expandable body distal of the first expandable body and comprising a plurality of scaffolding segments forming closed cells; and at least one clot inlet mouth between the first and second expandable bodies and the distal apex through which clot may pass and enter the device.
