Abstract: A system for assisting in the retrieval of a clot from a vessel. The system can include an outer catheter and an inner catheter disposed in a lumen of the outer catheter. The inner catheter can include a distal end, a proximal end, a distal segment, a proximal segment, and a lumen extending proximal of the distal end and terminating at a transfer port at the proximal end of the distal segment. A seal is located on the outer surface of the inner catheter distal of the transfer port, the seal capable of sealing against the lumen of the outer catheter so that aspiration applied through the outer catheter is configured to be transferred to the inner catheter.

Abstract: A clot capture catheter having an outer inflatable expansile member and an inner inflatable expansile member positioned within the outer inflatable expansile member at a distal end of a shaft of the catheter is presented herein. The inner and outer inflatable expansile members can have differing compliance than each other. Inflation of a higher compliance inner inflatable expansile member can cause a lower compliance outer inflatable expansile member to shorten and provide tension to the distal end of the shaft to case the distal end to open to a funnel shape. Inflation of a lower compliance inner inflatable expansile member can center the distal end of the shaft within a vessel, and inflation of a higher compliance outer inflatable member can provide atraumatic flow arrest to the vessel.
