Abstract:
1. A system for the removal of emboli within neurovasculature comprising: a temporary reperfusion device; wherein said self-expanding distal nitinol device comprises a generally cylindrical body having an open proximal end and an open distal end; wherein, when said generally cylindrical body is in an expanded state, the generally cylindrical body further facilitates blood flow by providing continuous radial pressure at the location of the embolus to enhance natural lysis of the embolus; a mesh basket tethered to the pusher and having at least an undeployed state and a deployed state, the mesh basket being configured to be inserted into neurovasculature in the undeployed state and removed from the neurovasculature in its deployed state; wherein the mesh basket is configured for retrieving all or part of any remaining portion of the embolus post reperfusion; wherein the mesh basket has a closed distal end; wherein the mesh basket is configured to be deployed into its deployed state distal to at least a section of any remaining embolus portion and expanded to capture the remaining embolus portion; wherein the mesh basket is suitable for deployment above the subclavian artery and common carotid artery; and wherein the mesh basket has radiopacity at a distal end of the mesh basket.
