Abstract

A medical apparatus has a thrombectomy device disposed in a sheath lumen of a sheath that is movable between an initial extended position and a retracted position. The thrombectomy device includes a first elongate cannula having a distal tip, a guidewire lumen, and a perforated region, which is proximal to the distal tip and is in fluid communication with the guidewire lumen. A second elongate cannula, which is configured to rotate, has a second lumen and a mechanical thrombectomy whisk, which is proximal to the distal tip. A third elongate cannula has a third exterior surface, a third lumen, an inflation passageway, an inflatable balloon connected to the third exterior surface, and an expandable embolic filter connected to the third exterior surface at a location distal to the inflatable balloon. The first elongate cannula is disposed in the second lumen. The second elongate cannula is disposed in the third lumen.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A medical apparatus, comprising:
a sheath having a sheath distal end and a sheath lumen, the sheath movable between an initial extended sheath position and a retracted sheath position; and a thrombectomy device, the thrombectomy device disposed in the sheath lumen, the thrombectomy device including: a first elongate cannula having a proximal end, a distal end having a distal tip, a guidewire lumen, and a perforated region, the perforated region having a plurality of perforations in fluid communication with the guidewire lumen, the perforated region proximal to the distal tip; a second elongate cannula having a second proximal end, a second distal end, a second lumen, and a mechanical thrombectomy whisk, the first elongate cannula disposed in the second lumen, the mechanical thrombectomy whisk proximal to the distal tip, the second elongate cannula configured to rotate; a third elongate cannula having a third exterior surface, a third proximal end, a third distal end, a third lumen, and an expandable embolic filter connected to the third exterior surface, the second elongate cannula disposed in the third lumen; and a fourth elongate cannula having a fourth exterior surface, a fourth proximal end, a fourth distal end, a fourth lumen, an inflation passageway, and an inflatable balloon connected to the fourth exterior surface, the third elongate cannula disposed in the fourth lumen, the inflatable balloon in fluid communication with the inflation passageway, wherein the expandable embolic filter has a filter distalmost edge, and the third distal end of the third elongate cannula terminates proximally of the filter distalmost edge at least when the sheath is in the initial extended sheath position, such that the expandable embolic filter at least partially covers the mechanical thrombectomy whisk.

2 . The medical apparatus of claim 1 , wherein in the retracted sheath position, the sheath distal end is entirely proximal to the inflatable balloon.

3 . The medical apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the second elongate cannula is configured to move from an initial second elongate extended position to a plurality of second elongate cannula retracted positions, in at least one of the plurality of second elongate retracted positions the mechanical thrombectomy whisk is proximally adjacent to the perforated region.

4 . The medical apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the second elongate cannula is configured to move from an initial second elongate cannula retracted position to a plurality of second elongate cannula extended positions, the second elongate cannula is configured to move to at least one of the plurality of second elongate cannula extended positions to position the mechanical thrombectomy whisk in alignment with a thrombus in a vessel.

5 . The medical apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the plurality of second elongate cannula extended positions includes a distal-most second elongate cannula extended position, the mechanical thrombectomy whisk is aligned with the perforated region when the second elongate cannula is in the distal-most second elongate cannula extended position.

6 . The medical apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the mechanical thrombectomy whisk is proximally adjacent to the perforated region when the second elongate cannula is in at least one of the plurality of second elongate cannula extended positions.

7 . The medical apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the third elongate cannula is configured to move from an initial third elongate cannula extended position to a third elongate cannula retracted position, the third elongate cannula retracted position proximal to the initial third elongate cannula extended position, when the sheath is in the retracted sheath position and the third elongate cannula is in the third elongate cannula retracted position the mechanical thrombectomy whisk is exposed.

8 . The medical apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the inflation passageway is formed within the fourth elongate cannula and is disposed adjacent to the fourth lumen.

9 . The medical apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the perforated portion region is adjacent the distal tip and is advanceable distal to the inflatable balloon.

10 . The medical apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the fourth elongate cannula further comprises an aspiration passageway disposed adjacent to the inflation passageway and the fourth lumen.

11 . The medical apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the perforated region is configured to deliver a therapeutic solution to a treatment site.

12 . The medical apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the therapeutic solution is delivered to the perforated region through the guidewire lumen.
