Patent ID: 8435218

Claim:
A device for performing mechanical thrombectomy comprising: an elongated body having a distal portion, a proximal portion, an internal passageway, a first axially elongated passage and a first balloon, the first balloon insertable into a patient's body in the deflated condition and inflatable via the first passage; and a rotatable wire having a non-linear distal tip portion having a thrombus contacting surface configured to contact and break up thrombus, the distal tip portion extending distal of the first balloon and distal of a distalmost end of the elongated body, the rotatable wire operably connected to a motor and rotatable to perform a mechanical thrombectomy procedure to break up thrombus in an area distal of the first balloon and distal of the distalmost end of the elongated body as the contacting surface of the non-linear distal tip portion contacts the thrombus.
