Abstract: A method of priming an interventional device assembly includes providing the interventional device assembly including a first interventional device coupled to a first hub and a second interventional device coupled to a second hub arranged in a concentric stack, the second interventional device being positioned within a lumen of the first interventional device. The method includes coupling the interventional device assembly to a drive system while arranged in the concentric stack, axially advancing the first interventional device and the first hub relative to the second hub to decrease a depth of insertion of the second interventional device within the lumen of the first interventional device while maintaining a distal end of the second interventional device within the lumen of the first interventional device, and flushing the first interventional device with fluid after decreasing the depth of insertion of the second interventional device within the lumen of the first interventional device.

Abstract: A system for delivering a fluid to a target site of a patient's vasculature having a catheter having a proximal end, a distal end, and a lumen defined by an interior surface of the catheter extending longitudinally through the catheter between the proximal end and the distal end, a guiding element having a distal end, a proximal end, and an exterior surface, the guiding element positioned in the lumen creating an area, between the exterior surface of the guiding element and the interior surface of the catheter, having an effective cross-sectional area sized fluid communication while the guiding element is in the lumen. Also, a method of performing a neurovascular procedure includes providing a multi-catheter assembly including an access catheter, a guide catheter, and a procedure catheter, coupling the assembly to a robotic drive system, and injecting contrast media into the assembly without removing a guiding element.

Abstract: A method of priming an interventional device assembly includes providing the interventional device assembly, the interventional device assembly including a first interventional device and a second interventional device, the second interventional device being positioned within the first interventional device. The method further includes reciprocally moving at least one of the first interventional device and the second interventional device relative to the other of the first interventional device and the second interventional device while flushing a lumen between the first interventional device and the second interventional device with fluid to remove microbubbles from the lumen.
