Current design limitations:
•Penumbra type systems – Great system for small vessel and limited clot burden. With larger vessels there is significant blood loss and generally, procedure are stopped prior to complete clot extraction
•AngioVac – Large bore (23Fr) for large vessel aspiration requiring two vessel site entry and the need for a perfusionist. Upper and lower extremity veins are to small for access
Optimal Aspiration Catheter:
•All Size Vessels and Clot Burden
•No Blood Loss
•Single Vessel Entry Point
•Visualize clot removed
