Abstract
A design capable of both mechanical thrombectomy and stenting for treating occlusions in the cerebral vasculature provides for a three-catheter setup. The first outer catheter has the largest diameter and can serve as a guide catheter while also being a sheath for the other catheters. The second deployment catheter can be configured for the aspiration of occlusions and can include a stepped or recessed section proximal of the distal tip that can act as a housing for a braided expandable stent. The outer diameter of this stepped section can be lined with an inflation device on top of which the braided stent sits. Internal to the second deployment catheter is a microcatheter which can deliver mechanical thrombectomy devices to the target site to retrieve an occlusion in the vessel, after which the stent can be expanded and implanted in the vessel.
