Abstract
Thrombectomy catheter and high-pressure systems for preventing clogging of a thrombectomy catheter. An illustrative thrombectomy catheter may comprise a catheter body including a catheter lumen extending therethrough. A high-pressure fluid supply tube extends through the catheter lumen from the catheter body proximal end region toward the catheter body distal end region. The high-pressure fluid supply tube is configured for communication with a fluid source near the catheter body proximal end region. The high-pressure supply tube includes at least one proximally projecting jet orifice for expelling at least one proximally oriented fluid jet from said high-pressure fluid supply tube in a generally proximal direction and at least one distally projecting jet orifice for expelling at least one distally oriented fluid jet from said high-pressure fluid supply tube in a generally distal direction. The catheter body further includes an entrainment inflow orifice positioned along the catheter distal portion.
