  • Publication number: 20200129180
    Abstract: An apparatus for performing a vascular treatment includes an intraluminal member that is controllingly moved during the vascular treatment. The intraluminal member of the vascular treatment device can be connected to a motor. The rotation direction of the intraluminal member can be reversed to reduce the incidence and duration of vein entanglement during a vascular ablation procedure. Reversal of direction could occur automatically, or in response to a sensor such as a load sensor provided as part of the motorized drive system.

  • Publication number: 20200113577
    Abstract: An apparatus for performing a vascular treatment is disclosed. In some embodiments, the apparatus comprises two modules that are maintained in separate zones of an operating environment. The apparatus includes an elongate, intraluminal member that is shaped and dimensioned for passage through blood vessels of a subject. The intraluminal member has a proximal end and a distal end. A vein wall disruptor for degrading the integrity of the inner wall of a vessel is housed within a sheath of the intraluminal member. The disruptor includes at least one, but may include several, prongs. The distal ends of the prongs contact or communicate with the inner wall of a blood vessel. The disruptor can include a contacting tip designed to damage the interior of the vessel as the disruptor is pulled proximally therealong. The apparatus further includes an automatic injector to inject a sclerosant into the blood vessel.
