Abstract: Systems and methods for performing aspiration thrombectomy. The aspiration catheter assembly can include a support catheter and an aspiration catheter extending through the support catheter. The catheter assembly can include a distal valve apparatus that can control a level of vacuum at a distal end of the catheter system. Irrigation can flow between the support catheter and the aspiration catheter to flush the catheter assembly.

Abstract: At least one method and container are described for maintaining a target temperature within the container. The container generally includes a vacuum insulated body; a lid couplable to the vacuum insulated body; a heatsink, coupled to the lid, wherein a portion of the heatsink is positionable within the vacuum insulated body; and at least one thermoelectric cell coupled to the heatsink, wherein the at least one thermoelectric cell is operated to promote the transfer of heat between the inside of the container and the outside of the container to cool the inside of the container or to warm the inside of the container. The container may be arranged so that internal and external portions of the heatsink may be arranged in a decoupled position to reduce heat transfer therebetween.
