    Abstract: An aspiration thrombectomy system is described with an aspiration catheter assembly having fittings interfaced with conduit and a pump. The aspiration catheter assembly can include a guide catheter and an aspiration catheter. The aspiration catheter can be introduced with a proximal end of a tubular element placed within the guide catheter to form a suction lumen extending through the aspiration catheter and a portion of the guide catheter. A connection section forming an effective seal between the aspiration catheter and the inner wall of the guide catheter can be fixed or extendable through actuation or release of a self-extending structure. The aspiration catheter can be positioned into an artery with a distal opening positioned proximal to a clot. The fittings can include a filter for removing thrombus from the aspiration flow. The fittings and/or the tubing adjacent the pump can include a flow meter for measuring flow to the pump. The fittings can include a pressure sensor for measuring pressure in the fittings. In addition, the aspiration catheter can have one or more pressure sensors integrated into the wall of the catheter with each configured to measure pressure in the interior or exterior of the catheter. The aspiration catheter and/or flow through the catheter can be manipulated based on pressure and flow measurements.

    Abstract: A suction catheter system is described with a suction extension interfaced with a guide catheter to form a continuous suction lumen extending through a portion of the guide catheter and through the suction extension. The suction extension can be positioned by tracking the suction nozzle through a vessel while moving a proximal portion of the suction extension within the lumen of the guide catheter. The suction extension can comprise a connecting section with a non-circular cross section for interfacing with the inner lumen of an engagement section of the guide catheter. The tubular body of the guide catheter can have a reduced diameter distal section the can be useful to restrain the movement of the suction extension. Proximal fittings attached to the guide catheter can facilitate safe removal of the catheter system from the patient by allowing for the removal of some or all of a tubular extension of the suction extension from the guide catheter behind a hemostatic seal. Pressure sensors connected to the proximal fittings can help to guide the procedures with reduced risk of embolizing thrombus.

The fittings can include a docking manifold that can dock the connection suction of the suction extension to allow removal of the suction extension from hemostatic isolation and clearing of clots from the suction extension without further fittings such that the cleared suction extension can be efficiently reinserted for additional use.

    Abstract: Components and corresponding systems are described for providing removal of a clot or fragment thereof to address an acute ischemic stroke condition. In particular, a filter design is presented that provides metal elements below a bundle of polymer fibers to provide more mechanical strength while cushioning the vessel wall from direct contact with the metal elements. Designs of stent retrievers are presented with polymer covers or mounted on the exterior of a microcatheter. Corresponding systems are described that can use various combinations of the components, generally in combination with an aspiration catheter. Corresponding procedures are described that can effectively use the various devices and systems.
