Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

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.
