Abstract: A method of removing an occlusive material within a blood lumen of a patient includes positioning a material-removal device proximate to or in contact with the occlusive material within the blood lumen. The said material-removal device includes a catheter having a catheter lumen and a progressive cavity pump located at a distal portion of the catheter with the progressive cavity pump in fluid communication with the catheter lumen and the blood lumen. The method further includes actuating the progressive cavity pump to ingest at least a portion of the occlusive material from the blood lumen into the catheter lumen.
Abstract: A containing element is used to capture material in a blood vessel for removal. The containing element is advanced through the blood vessel or a catheter in a constricted configuration. A control body is coupled to the containing element which assists moving the containing element. In some embodiments, the containing element is used for restricting blood flow within a vessel.
