  • thrombus removal devices currently used in the treatment of vascular diseases require improved features in integration with thrombi, capturing fragmented thrombi, user visibility, and traversing the serpentine vascular structure.
  • the mechanical blood clot removal device can remove blood clots of different sizes or hardness in one pass. It is preferable that the mechanical thrombus removal device has a design capable of clot integration with thrombus in different states in order to minimize the procedure time. In order to prevent further damage that may occur to the patient due to the mechanical thrombus removal device, it is preferred that the mechanical thrombus removal device is capable of trapping fragmented thrombus. In addition, it may be important to minimize the time required for reperfusion by improving the visibility of the mechanical thrombus removal device to provide convenience to the user. Finally, since the serpentine vessel structure makes it difficult for the mechanical thrombus removal device to recover the clot, the stent retriever is preferably designed to pass through the serpentine vessel after capturing the clot.
  • the obstruction thrombus removal device is a mechanical thrombus removal device used in the treatment of vascular diseases, and can restore blood flow by capturing a thrombus located in a blood vessel and recovering it outside the body.
  • the obstruction thrombus removal apparatus may have features such as fragmented thrombus capture, axial structure preservation, overall axial flexibility or improved visibility compared to known mechanical thrombus removal apparatuses.

  • Axially structural integrity can prevent the obstructive thrombus removal device from excessive deformation. In addition, it allows the obstruction thrombus removal device to pass well even in the serpentine anatomy. If the obstruction thrombus removal device is deformed in the process of recovering the thrombus, the thrombus may leak from the stent body. Deformation of the stent body can be controlled by the wire pulling the stent body in at least two or more areas-the proximal and distal parts of the stent body. The wire and the stent body may be connected in more areas. Rather than pulling the stent body by transmitting the force through only the proximal portion of the stent body, the wire transmitting force to the stent body through a plurality of areas can prevent the stent body from being excessively deformed.
