Abstract:
An aspiration system includes an elongate tubular member having a lumen; an aspiration catheter configured to be inserted through the lumen of the elongate tubular member, and including a tubular aspiration member having a proximal end, a distal end, and a lumen, and configured to at least partially extend out of the lumen of the elongate tubular member at the distal end of the elongate tubular member; an elongate support member coupled to the tubular aspiration member and extending between a proximal end of the aspiration catheter and the proximal end of the tubular aspiration member; and an annular sealing member coupled to the tubular aspiration member and configured to create a seal against an inner surface of the elongate tubular member, when a vacuum sufficient to cause aspiration is actively applied to the lumen of the elongate tubular member.

Claim (Index 1):
An aspiration system comprising:\n an elongate tubular member for insertion into the vasculature of a patient, the elongate tubular member having a proximal end, a distal end, a lumen extending from the proximal end to the distal end, and an inner surface defined by the lumen; an aspiration catheter having a proximal end and a distal end and configured to be inserted through the lumen of the elongate tubular member, the aspiration catheter comprising:\n a tubular aspiration member having a proximal end, a distal end, and a lumen, and configured to at least partially extend out of the lumen of the elongate tubular member at the distal end of the elongate tubular member and into the vasculature of the patient; \n an elongate support member coupled to the tubular aspiration member and extending between the proximal end of the aspiration catheter and the proximal end of the tubular aspiration member; and \n an annular seal comprising at least one annular sealing member coupled to the tubular aspiration member; \n a vacuum source configured for coupling to the proximal end of the elongate tubular member; and wherein the at least one annular sealing member is configured to create a seal against the inner surface of the elongate tubular member, substantially preventing liquid having a viscosity of about 0.0025 Pascal-seconds from passing through an annular space between the elongate tubular member and the tubular aspiration member in a distal to proximal direction and into the lumen of the elongate tubular member proximal to the at least one annular sealing member when a vacuum sufficient to cause aspiration of the liquid through the lumen of the tubular aspiration member and the lumen of the elongate tubular member from the distal end of the tubular aspiration member to the proximal end of the elongate tubular member is actively applied to the lumen of the elongate tubular member at the proximal end of the elongate tubular member.
