Abstract
An aspiration thrombectomy system includes an aspiration catheter configured to accommodate fluid and having a proximal end and a distal end. The system includes connection tubing coupled to the aspiration catheter and configured to act as a common conduit for fluid communication. The system further includes controllable valves operable to control a level of pressure, and pressure sensors positioned downstream from the distal end of the aspiration catheter. A controller is configured to determine a vascular pressure level of the patient, and to determine one or more therapeutic-benefit metrics associated with continuance of the aspiration thrombectomy procedure.
