The purpose of thrombectomy devices is to remove blood clots that have formed in blood vessels
Thrombectomy devices are surgical devices
that are used to remove blood clots that have formed in the blood vessels.
Mechanical retrievers, basket/brush retrievers, stent retrievers, aspiration
retrievers, ultrasonic retrievers, coil retrievers, and hydrodynamic retrievers
are among the devices available. They are being used to eliminate thrombus,
which can form anywhere in the human body's vascular system, and thus have
applications in the cardiovascular, peripheral vascular, and neurovascular
systems. Ambulatory surgical centers, hospitals, and surgical centers, academic
institutes, and research laboratories are among the end-users of these devices.
The surgical removal of a blood clot or
thrombus from a blood vessel is known as thrombectomy. The goal of this
procedure is to restore blood circulation and prevent tissue death. Simple thrombectomy
devices are intracoronary catheters with a central aspiration lumen
through which the thrombus can be extracted. These rapid-exchange devices are
inserted into the IRA via an intracoronary guidewire.
The surgeon will make an incision in the
groin and advance a catheter through an artery to the clot during a
catheter-based thrombectomy. The surgeon will use a specialized X-ray to
monitor catheter placement in order to maneuver the catheter to the exact
location. Mechanical thrombectomy is a minimally invasive procedure in which an
interventional radiologist removes a clot from a patient's artery using
specialized equipment. The doctor guides instruments through the patient's
arteries to the clot using fluoroscopy, or continuous x-ray and extracts the
clot all at once.
What is thrombectomy and how is it used to
treat stroke? Thrombectomy is a type of minimally invasive surgery that removes
a blood clot from an artery in simple terms. A cerebral thrombectomy removes a
clot from a brain artery in the event of a stroke. Thrombectomy is a novel and
effective treatment for clot-related strokes. It entails inserting a catheter
into an artery to access a clot, which is then mechanically removed, usually
within six hours of a stroke.
A surgeon makes an incision into a blood
vessel during a surgical thrombectomy. The blood vessel is repaired after the
clot is removed. This aids in the re-establishment of blood flow. A balloon or
other device may be inserted into the blood vessel to help keep it open in some
cases.
