  • ASPIRATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS, AND EXPANDING-MOUTH CATHETERS
    Publication number: 20240115277
    Abstract: In some examples, a catheter includes an expandable member configured to expand radially outward from a collapsed configuration to an expanded configuration. The expandable member is configured to be expanded and contracted in a controlled manner, e.g., in response to user actuation or automatically under the control of control circuitry of a device. For example, in some examples, control circuitry of a device can be configured to control the expandable member to expand and contract according to a predetermined expansion frequency or according to an expansion frequency determined based on a cardiac cycle of a patient.

  • MEDICAL ASPIRATION
    Publication number: 20210220528
    Abstract: In some examples, a medical aspiration system is configured to control medical aspiration based on a cardiac cycle of a patient. For example, a medical aspiration system can comprise a suction source configured to apply a suction force to a catheter to remove fluid from the catheter, and control circuitry configured to control the suction force applied by the suction source to the catheter based on a cardiac cycle of a patient.
