Abstract
An interventional catheter for treating an artery includes an elongated body sized and shaped to be transcervically introduced into a common carotid artery at an access location in the neck.

An interventional catheter for treating an artery, comprising:
- an elongated body sized and shaped to be transcervically introduced into a common carotid artery at an access location in the neck, the elongated body sized and shaped to be navigated distally to an intracranial artery through the common carotid artery via the access location in the neck;
- an internal lumen in the elongated body, the internal lumen forming a proximal opening in a proximal region of the elongated body and a distal opening in a distal region of the elongated body;
- wherein the elongated body has a proximal most section and a distal most section wherein the proximal most section is a stiffest portion of the elongated body, and wherein the elongated body has an overall length and a distal most section length such that the distal most section can be positioned in an intracranial artery and at least a portion of the proximal most section is positioned in the common carotid artery during use.
