From Which Medical Device
This simple device allows large bore aspiration of thrombus.
I have used this successfully for massive pulmonary embolism with great success.
The aspiration catheter itself is often enough, but you can also use the Flowtriever discs which are a little like an amplatzer plug that expand in the thrombus allwing it to be withdrawn into the catheter.
