Abstract:
Catheter-delivered endovascular medical devices are described. The devices may include a pull wire attached to a distal body, which may be formed of a basket or other framework that has a plurality of cells. The pull wire may be extra long to allow a secondary device, such as an aspiration catheter, balloon or stent, to be delivered over the pull wire while the pull wire is in an intracranial artery. Methods of using and making the devices are also described.

Claim (Index 29):
A system for removing objects from an interior lumen of an animal, the system comprising:\n a pull wire having a proximal end and a distal end; a distal body attached to the pull wire, the distal body comprising an interior, a proximal end, a distal end, a distal body length extending from the proximal end to the distal end, a proximal junction forming the proximal end of the distal body, a plurality of proximal strips, a basket comprised of a plurality of open and closed cells formed by a plurality of basket strips, and a distal junction forming a distal end of the basket, the basket comprising a basket interior, each proximal strip having a distal end attached to a cell and a proximal end, the proximal ends of the proximal strips converging at the proximal junction, the distal body having a relaxed state wherein the distal body has a first height and a first width, and a collapsed state wherein the distal body has a second height and a second width, the second height less than the first height, the second width less than the first width, wherein, in the relaxed state, the basket comprises a plurality of proximal closed cells having a proximal crown attached to a proximal strip and pointing generally in the proximal direction and a distal crown attached to another cell of the basket and pointing generally in the distal direction, wherein, in the relaxed state, the basket comprises a first drop zone segment distal to the plurality of proximal closed cells, the first drop zone segment comprising at least two closed cells having a proximal crown attached to another cell of the basket and pointing generally in the proximal direction and a distal crown attached to another cell of the basket and pointing generally in the distal direction, and at least two closed cells having a proximal crown attached to another cell of the basket and pointing generally in the proximal direction and a free distal crown pointing generally in the distal direction, wherein, in the relaxed state, each free distal crown of the first drop segment forms part of an enlarged open cell configured to allow a thrombus to pass therethrough and into the basket interior, wherein, in the relaxed state, the basket comprises a plurality of distal closed cells distal to the first drop zone segment and having a proximal crown attached to another cell of the basket and pointing generally in the proximal direction and a distal crown pointing generally in the distal direction and attached to the distal junction by a distal strip having a proximal end attached to the distal crown and a distal end attached to the distal junction, wherein, in the relaxed state, the basket does not have any free crowns that point generally in the proximal direction, wherein each of the distal ends of the distal strips converge at the distal junction, wherein the distal body, in the relaxed state, comprises a distal tapered region in which the distal body height and width decrease as the distal strips approach the distal junction, wherein the distal body, in the relaxed state comprises a proximal tapered region in which the distal body height and width decrease as the proximal strips approach the proximal junction; and further wherein pull wire has a length of at least 280 centimeters.
