Abstract:
Disclosed herein are devices, systems and methods for removal of a thrombus or embolus from a vascular channel of the body. A device comprising at least one actively expandable scaffold is inserted into the vascular channel and positioned at the thrombus or embolus in a collapsed configuration. A lytic agent is delivered by a delivery member fluidly coupled to a source of lytic agent and an infusion pump to the thrombus or embolus. The scaffold is expanded through the thrombus or embolus to an expanded configuration while the lytic agent is being infused in order to urge the thrombus or embolus into the scaffold. The scaffold is then collapsed around the thrombus or embolus and removed from the patient with the thrombus or embolus captured therein.
