?:definition
  • Embolectomy/thrombectomy catheters designed to deliver thrombolytic agents to intravenous clots and also to pulverize (i.e., fragment) a clot into particles. These devices usually consist of a multilumen catheter including two inflatable balloons (to be located distally and proximally to the clot), drug infusion and aspiration ports, infusion holes, an aspiration port close to the distal balloon, an internal dispersion wire, anand a motor drive that is attached to the proximal end of the catheter to control the movement of the dispersion wire. After the catheter is introduced and the balloons are located the thrombolytic agent is delivered; then the dispersion wire is activated, the clot is fragmented and the remaining debris is aspirated through the catheter.
