Retrieval of material from vessel lumens can be improved by electrically enhancing attachment of the material to the thrombectomy system. The system can include a catheter having a distal portion configured to be positioned adjacent to a thrombus in a blood vessel, an electrode disposed at the distal portion of the catheter, and an interventional element configured to be delivered through a lumen of the catheter. The electrode and the interventional element are each configured to be electrically coupled to an extracorporeal power supply.

Described herein is a liquid embolic delivery device designed to minimize excess embolic solvent buildup therein. The liquid embolic delivery device generally comprises an outer catheter, an inner catheter that is longitudinally moveable within the outer catheter. The inner catheter is used for an initial embolic solvent flush and to deliver liquid embolic, while the outer catheter is used to remove excess solvent.

A suction catheter system is described with a suction extension interfaced with a guide catheter to form a continuous suction lumen extending through a portion of the guide catheter and through the suction extension. The suction extension can be positioned by tracking the suction nozzle through a vessel while moving a proximal portion of the suction extension within the lumen of the guide catheter. The suction extension can comprise a connecting section with a non-circular cross section for interfacing with the inner lumen of an engagement section of the guide catheter. Proximal fittings attached to the guide catheter can facilitate safe removal of the catheter system from the patient by allowing for the removal of some or all of a tubular extension of the suction extension from the guide catheter behind a hemostatic seal. The fittings can include a docking manifold that can dock the connection suction of the suction extension to allow removal of the suction extension from hemostatic isolation and clearing of clots from the suction extension without further fittings such that the cleared suction extension can be efficiently reinserted for additional use.

An insertion apparatus for inserting an object into a body comprising a housing, a piercing structure with a lumen, wherein the piercing structure extends distally from the housing, a vacuum chamber that communicates with the lumen of the piercing structure, a plunger configured to fit within the vacuum chamber, a guidewire, and a pressure monitoring channel communicating with the lumen, wherein the insertion apparatus is configured to be operated with a single hand.

A catheter configured to provide a delivery system for standard interventional devices and for rapid localized deep cooling to organs at risk of ischemia-reperfusion injury during procedures such as intracranial thrombectomy or emergency thrombectomy. The catheter is comprised of an insulative shaft with a multi-component braided outer lumen and an internal floating inner lumen with a plurality of structures configured to minimize contact and resulting heat transfer between the two lumens.

Endoscopic surgery targeted at the sinuses and nasal turbinates assists in managing the symptoms of chronic rhinosinusitis and other conditions. With contemporary techniques, post-operative hemorrhage, synechiae formation and poor wound healing are amongst the most common complications. The present disclosure provides the use of self-assembling peptide matrix, PuraSinus, and significantly reduces the incidence of these post-operative complications, including prevention of synechiae formation and aiding hemostasis.

Provided herein are methods of treatment, compositions, systems and kits using polymer particles as restraints of neutrophil function. Such methods include, but are not limited to, methods of preventing, treating, and/or ameliorating inflammatory diseases, infections, autoimmune diseases, malignant diseases, and other diseases or conditions in which neutrophils may be implicated. In some embodiments, polymer particles are useful for diagnosing neutrophil related diseases or conditions.

A robotic procedure system for treating neurovasculature of a patient including a guide sheath, catheter system having a support catheter and a navigation catheter, and robotic drive system configured to drive the catheter system within a patient's vessel. The robotic drive system includes a cassette with at least a first set of rollers and at least a second set of rollers and a controller operatively coupled to the cassette. The first set of rollers is configured to engage a proximal control element of the support catheter and the second set of rollers configured to engage a proximal extension of the navigation catheter. The controller is configured to control the first set and second set of rollers so as to determine a magnitude of linear translation of the support catheter and a magnitude of linear translation of the navigation catheter. Related devices, systems, and methods are provided.
