Abstract
A vacuum aspiration system may be used to treat thromboembolic disease, such as deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism. The system includes a housing, and a fluid flow path extending through the housing. A first catheter is in fluid communication with the flow path, and a connector is configured to place a source of aspiration in communication with the flow path. A clot container is carried by the housing. A hemostasis valve is provided in the housing, and configured to receive a second catheter and direct the second catheter through the first catheter.
Claims19
A vacuum aspiration system comprising:
- a housing comprising:
- a side wall at least partially defining a clot container;
- a hemostasis valve;
- a fluid flow path extending through the clot container;
- and
- an on off control in the flow path, the on off control being configured to regulate aspiration through the flow path;
- and
- a first catheter in fluid communication with the flow path and a connector configured to place a source of aspiration in communication with the flow path,
- wherein the hemostasis valve is configured to receive a second catheter and direct the second catheter through the first catheter, and
- wherein the second catheter is configured to be removably received within and axially translated through the first catheter.
A vacuum aspiration system comprising:
- a housing;
- a fluid flow path extending through the housing;
- a first catheter in fluid communication with the flow path and a connector configured to place a source of aspiration in communication with the flow path;
- an operator actuated control configured to turn off a fluid flow;
- a port on the housing, the port being in communication with the connector and configured to guide a second catheter through the housing and into and through the first catheter;
- and
- a vent being configured to place the fluid flow path in fluid communication with atmosphere.
