Abstract: Provided herein is a recanalization system including (i) a handle located at a proximal end of the system, (ii) a first elongate member, (iii) a second elongate member, the first and second elongate members being movable relative to each other elongate member, and (iv) a recanalization device located at a distal end of the system. The recanalization device includes (i) a first end portion coupled to the first elongate member, (ii) a second end portion coupled to the second elongate member, and (iii) at least one strut extending between the first and second end portions. The recanalization device is configured to be (i) selectively radially expanded and compressed and (ii) axially moved relative to the first and second elongate members.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are devices for mechanically removing clot and/or other material from implants implanted in the vasculature of a patient, and associated systems and methods. In some embodiments, a system for removing clot material from an implant—such as a stent—includes a clot treatment device configured to be deployed within the stent, a handle, and a first elongate member and a second elongate member coupling the clot treatment device to the handle. The first elongate member couples a first end portion of the clot treatment device to the handle, and the second elongate member couples a second end portion of the clot treatment device to an actuator of the handle. Actuation of the actuator is configured to move the second elongate member relative to the first elongate member to move the first and second end portions toward one another to radially expand the clot treatment device.
