Embolectomy procedures with a device comprising a polymer and devices with polymer matrices and supports

摘要

Embolectomy procedures can be performed under conditions to effectively remove thrombus/emboli with little risk of injuring the vessel wall and while effectively capturing and removing emboli. Desired embolectomy devices present a polymer matrix against the vessel wall. Suction can be used to facilitate the embolectomy process and to remove emboli loosened in the procedure. Some devices combine features to present a polymer matrix against the vessel wall while corresponding providing sufficient support to effectively loosen thrombus. Combinations of embolectomy and/or filter elements can be used.
