Abstract
Thrombectomy in coronary arteries and peripheral vasculature is a common procedure performed with electromechanical thrombectomy systems and basic syringe–catheter combinations. Electromechanical systems are associated with speed, power, high-cost, and complexity while basic syringe aspiration systems are associated with ease-of-use, lower cost, and less aspiration force. This report describes a novel mechanical thrombus aspiration system designed to improve aspiration speed and performance plus associated cases studies.
