RAPID ASPIRATION THROMBECTOMY SYSTEM AND METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240009425 titled 'RAPID ASPIRATION THROMBECTOMY SYSTEM AND METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an intravascular access system for performing medical procedures within the neurovasculature using an access sheath. The system includes a catheter with a flexible distal portion that has a lumen extending between a proximal opening and a distal opening. The catheter also has a rigid spine coupled to the proximal end. Additionally, the system includes a dilator with a flexible distal portion that can be inserted into the lumen of the catheter.

  • The system allows for easier access to the neurovasculature for medical procedures.
  • The catheter's flexible distal portion and lumen facilitate the insertion of other medical devices.
  • The rigid spine provides stability and control during the procedure.
  • The dilator can be used to further expand the lumen of the catheter for larger medical devices.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Neurovascular procedures such as embolization, thrombectomy, or angioplasty.
  • Accessing and treating blood vessels in the brain or spinal cord.
  • Minimally invasive procedures that require intraluminal access.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Difficulty in accessing and navigating the neurovasculature.
  • Limited options for intraluminal access during neurovascular procedures.
  • Lack of stability and control during intravascular procedures.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved access to the neurovasculature, leading to more effective and precise medical procedures.
  • Minimally invasive approach reduces the risk of complications and improves patient recovery.
  • The system provides stability and control, enhancing the safety and success of intravascular procedures.


Original Abstract Submitted

an intravascular access system for facilitation of intraluminal medical procedures within the neurovasculature through an access sheath. the system includes an aspiration or support catheter having a flexible, distal luminal portion having an inner diameter defining a lumen extending between a proximal opening at a proximal end of the luminal portion and a distal opening at a distal end of the luminal portion. the catheter has a rigid spine coupled to at least the proximal end of the luminal portion and extending proximally therefrom. the system includes a dilator having a flexible, distal dilator portion sized to be received within the lumen of the luminal portion. associated systems, devices, and methods of use are also described.
