A device and method for treating a patient with total or near total occlusion is provided. The device can be positioned in a blood vessel at a treatment site. An occlusion at the treatment site is enlarged by a catheter. The catheter can be advanced over a guidewire into the occlusion. One or more of [a] compression or torsion applied to the guidewire or [b] compression or torsion applied to the catheter body expands or creates a path through the occlusion. The expansions or creation of the access path can be by cutting or abrading the occlusion or by a shoe-horn effect.

There is provided herein a disclosure and specification of invention(s) relating to devices and methods for percutaneous access and treatment of vascular structures in the rear of the eye, including treatment for the symptoms related to Wet Age Related Macular Degeneration by removal of stenosis of the OA, thereby restoring normal, or near normal, blood flow to the rear of the eye, including the retina and associated structures. Also provided herein is a disclosure and specification of invention(s) relating to methods and devices for selective manipulation of Intraocular Pressure (IOP) be means of mechanical force for the purpose of inducing retrograde flow in the ophthalmic vasculature.

Catheter having a hypotube with a skive defined by a first angled cut, an axial cut, and a second angled cut. A midshaft member includes a guidewire lumen and an inflation lumen in fluid communication with an inflation lumen of the hypotube, the inflation lumen of the midshaft member configured to receive at least a portion of the hypotube. A distal tubular shaft member extends distally from the midshaft member. The distal tubular shaft member has a guidewire lumen and an inflation lumen defined therein, the guidewire lumen of the distal tubular shaft member in fluid communication with the guidewire lumen of the midshaft member. The inflation lumen of the distal tubular shaft member is in fluid communication with the inflation lumen of the midshaft member and a balloon is coupled to the distal tubular shaft member and in fluid communication with the inflation lumen.

A venous thrombectomy device includes a net assembly and a dislodger assembly that are operated independent of each other. The net assembly includes a wire and an expandable net secured at a distal end of the wire, wherein, when in an expanded state, the expandable net defines an interior collection volume with a mouth that opens proximally when the net is advanced distally beyond the thrombus and expanded. The dislodger assembly includes at least one node secured at a distal end of a shaft, wherein the wire of the net assembly extends through a lumen of the shaft such that the dislodger assembly may translate axially over and rotate about the wire, relative to the net.
