Abstract
A device for detaching parietal thrombi from a bodily vessel is described having a catheter including at least one catheter section with a catheter wall with at least one wall opening which passes completely through the catheter wall. The catheter wall along the least one catheter section is made of a resiliently deformable material in which the at least one wall opening includes a separating helical gap wound around the catheter wall at least in parts along the catheter section. A fixing device permits releasable fixing of the catheter on a bodily vessel so that the catheter can be converted, exclusively by an external mechanical constraint in the form of a torque acting torsionally on the catheter, from a state of smaller catheter outer diameter to a state of larger catheter outer diameter.
