Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9825656A2] Systems, methods and apparatus for removing arteriosclerotic plaque or clots, such as emboli and/or thrombi, from the interior of a fluid vessel, such as a cerebral or coronary artery, are provided. A coil capture device includes a superelastic coil capable of percutaneously removing plaque and clots from blood vessels without the need for surgical intervention. A radiopaque element is secured over the coil to improve visualization of the coil capture device, which enhances the accuracy of the procedure. A hollow introducing sheath is also provided to facilitate the endoluminally delivery of the coil capture device to the clot region within the patient's vasculature.
