SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PULMONARY EMBOLI REMOVAL

Abstract: a system for treating pulmonary embolism includes an aspiration catheter having a distal occluding component and a holding catheter having a distal valve accessory. in use, expansion of the occluding component blocks a target pulmonary artery, and deployment of the valve accessory promotes mitral valve regurgitation. suction applied by the aspiration catheter induces a reversal of blood flow throughout a targeted pulmonary region. reversing the direction of blood flow enables removal of one or more pulmonary emboli.
