    Abstract: An aspiration thrombectomy system, comprising a vacuum source comprising a controllable vacuum valve, a pressure source comprising a controllable pressure valve, an aspiration catheter having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the proximal end of the aspiration catheter comprises connection tubing having a lumen configured to accommodate fluid, and wherein the connection tubing acts as a common conduit for fluid communication between the aspiration catheter and the vacuum and pressure sources via the vacuum and pressure valves, respectively, and a controller configured to open and close the vacuum and vent valves in a predetermined cycle to change a level of vacuum at the distal end of the aspiration catheter and control flow in and out from the distal end of the catheter.

    Abstract: A system for intracranial access that includes a support assembly is described. The system includes a tubular probe shaft that may be advanced through a hole in the patient's skull. The tubular probe shaft houses a rotating element that cuts clot, and is connected to a vacuum source to aspirate clot fragments and blood from the site. The rotating element may have a bident shape.

    Abstract: A system for intracranial access that includes a support assembly is described. The support assembly has a hub and lobes surrounding a central aperture for introducing a sheathed core that can accommodate an endoscope and/or other devices. Some embodiments include a collar and a ring, each of which can be tightened to secure the sheathed core in place. An accessory device for use during intracranial aspiration procedures is described.

    Abstract: A target substance, such as a thrombus, is removed from a patient's body via minimally invasive technique. A catheter is maneuvered and positioned near the target substance. The catheter may have a soft, atraumatic tip constructed from a metallic backbone covered by a polymer. Target substances are drawn into the catheter via an aspiration source. Near the catheter's distal end, a blade and opposing surface are housed within the catheter, and the blade moves relative to the opposing surface within the catheter lumen in order to fragment the target substance. The substances are fragmented within the catheter into discreet and relatively uniform particles. The aspiration source, which helps ensnare target substances, also serves to evacuate the substance fragments from the patient's body.
