Abstract: Cyclic aspiration system including an aspiration catheter and a cyclic aspiration source connected in fluid communication thereto, wherein the cyclic aspiration pressure source produces a cyclic aspiration pressure waveform of intermittently cycling intervals of a vacuum pressure below atmospheric pressure and a positive pressure higher than the vacuum pressure. The system further including a non-powered internal structural impediment disposed within the lumen of the aspiration catheter and configured to engage with a clot capturable therein during resulting movement between the clot and the non-powered internal structural impediment while subject to the cyclic aspiration pressure waveform to assist in capture of the clot. The non-powered internal structural impediment may be permanently attached to the aspiration catheter or a separate component or device independently slidable within the lumen of the aspiration catheter.

Abstract: An endovascular embolization system including a braided implantable device having: a tubular braid pre-formed as a default shape into multiple distinct sections including: an intermediate section interposed directly between a stabilizing section and a sealing section; the intermediate section having a stiffness greater than that of the stabilizing section; and a proximal section. Each of the stabilizing section and the sealing section are self-expanding between a radially expanded state when free from an externally applied radial force and a radially constricted state when subject to the externally applied radial force; each of the stabilizing section and the sealing section while in the radially expanded state have a maximum outer diameter larger than an outer diameter of each of the distal section, the intermediate section, and the proximal section.

Abstract: Tubular braided implantable endovascular embolization device including a folded over tubular braid forming a folded over atraumatic distal surface and preformed into multiple distinct sections including: a stabilizing section; a sealing section; an intermediate section interposed between the sealing and stabilizing sections; and a proximal section. The stabilizing section and the sealing section are radially self-expanding to a maximum outer diameter larger than the intermediate section or the proximal section. Enhanced stiffness while obstructing open space regions maximizing disruption of blood flow therethrough is achieved by using a plurality of nested layers (at least one of which is the folded over tubular braid) to form the sealing section while the stabilizing section preferably formed by a single braided layer (i.e., the folded over tubular braid) optimizes compressibility and positioning.

Abstract: A method for treating an aneurysm by delivering, to an aneurysm sac, an occlusion device comprising a coiled implant releasably retained on the occlusion device. The coiled implant comprises an outer diameter that increases a coil volume in the aneurysm compared to comparative devices having approximately equal lengths and varied primary wind diameter, or comparative devices having approximately equal coil widths and varied lengths.

Abstract: An occlusive device can include a tubular braid including an open end and a pinched end. The tubular braid can define a longitudinal axis. In a predetermined shape, the tubular braid can include an outer sack and an inner sack. The open end can include a plurality of braided wires that are deflected towards the longitudinal axis in the predetermined shape.

Abstract: Method for using a clot retrieval device for treating a clot in a blood vessel for use in the treatment of ischemic stroke to reperfuse an obstructed vessel. The method comprising delivering a revascularization device to a blood vessel of a respective human patient of a first plurality of human patients for retrieving a clot and removing the revascularization device and restoring perfusion to the blood vessel for the first plurality of human patients with one or more clots by passing the revascularization device by, through, or about the clot to achieve a reperfusion outcome greater than approximately 53.5% under a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of 0-2 within a predetermined time period.
