Abstract:
A neurovascular catheter having an angled distal tip has an elongate flexible tubular body with a proximal end, a distal end and a side wall defining a central lumen. The side wall has a helical coil. A tubular jacket surrounds the helical coil, and extending distally beyond the helical coil distal end to terminate in a catheter distal face. A tubular radiopaque marker is embedded in the tubular jacket in between the distal end of the coil and the distal face. The distal face resides on a plane which crosses a longitudinal axis of the tubular body at an angle within the range of from about 35 degrees to about 55 degrees. The marker has a proximal face that is approximately perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and a distal face that resides on a plane which crosses the longitudinal axis at an angle within the range of from about 35 degrees to about 55 degrees.
