Abstract: A wire may be configured to provide distal isolation from proximal movement, and a filter may be deployed at or near a distal portion of the wire. A filter may be deployed on a spinner tube that is rotatably disposed about a distal portion of the wire. Axial movement of the filter wire may be at least partially absorbed by the spinner tube. A telescoping wire may include a solid proximal wire section, a solid distal wire section and a joining section that is disposed between the solid proximal wire section and the solid distal wire section. The joining section may translate rotational movement between the distal and proximal sections.

Abstract: A thrombus removal device that may include a catheter having a proximal end and a distal end, an aspiration lumen therebetween, and a guidewire lumen, a vacuum source fluidly connected to the proximal end of the aspiration lumen, a wire having a straight proximal portion and a macerating portion distal the proximal portion and disposed in the aspiration lumen, and a motor mechanically connected to the wire proximal portion to effect movement of the wire and may further include a wire having a wave-propagating portion, and methods of use thereof.
