A system for deploying a stent-graft from the femoral artery into the femoral vein and back into the femoral artery in order to bypass a femoral occlusion comprises a penetration catheter and a guidewire capture and stabilization catheter. The penetration catheter may be advanced contralaterally to a location above the occlusion and the capture and stabilization catheter may be introduced upwardly through the femoral vein. The penetration tool on the penetration catheter is used in multiple steps to deploy guidewires which are then used to deploy the stent-graft in the desired location.

Cerebrovascular treatment at an intracranial location beyond the petrous segment of the carotid artery can be challenging due to blood vessel size and tortuosity. First pass cerebrovascular thrombectomy success rate under only fluoroscopic guidance can be low (e.g., 25.1%) but an angioscope can help improve efficacy. A sheath catheter can be advanced toward the cerebrovascular pathology. Its distal balloon can be inflated. An angioscope can be inserted via its working lumen for viewing. The sheath catheter can have a stepped-down lateral profile and can extend the working channel a distance beyond the balloon. A dual concentric lumen structure can include an inner body and an outer body, defining an inflation lumen therebetween, with one or more portions of one or more layers stretched or cut or both, such as to provide bending flexibility. Reflow techniques can be used to help bond layers together.

Methods and devices for removing an obstruction from a vessel include an elongate flexible shaft with an expandable capture cage coupled to the distal end of the elongate flexible shaft. The expandable capture cage has an expanded configuration and a collapsed configuration. The collapsed configuration is adapted to be delivered through the vessel and the expanded configuration is adapted to be expanded in the vessel to enmesh the obstruction.

The present disclosure is directed to a device. The device may include a distal shaft defining a central lumen and an orienting element comprising at least one inflatable member. Wherein a first portion of the orienting element extending from the shaft in a first direction and a second portion of the orienting element extending from the shaft in a second direction. Further, wherein the second direction is substantially opposite the first direction.

A clot removal device for removal of an occlusion from a lumen in a patient's body is provided. The clot removal device has a lumen, an elongated member positioned within the lumen and extending axially from a proximal end to a distal end of the lumen, a handle attached to the proximal end of the lumen, a first expandable member positioned along a length of the elongated member, a second expandable member positioned along the length of the elongated member, wherein the second expandable member is distal to the first expandable member relative to the handle. The handle has at least one actuation mechanism and at least one of the following applies: a) the first expandable member is coupled to the at least one actuation mechanism and is configured to be moveable relative to the second expandable member upon manipulation of the at least one actuation mechanism; b) the first expandable member is configured to mechanically expand or contract by manipulating the at least one actuation mechanism; c) the second expandable member is coupled to the at least one actuation mechanism and is configured to be moveable relative to the first expandable member upon manipulation of the at least one actuation mechanism; or d) the second expandable member is configured to mechanically expand or contract by manipulating the at least one actuation mechanism.

Systems for use in blood clot removal can comprise a receiver-supporting element, a self- expanding receiver that includes a frame and a polymer, a first tube connected to the receiver, and a second tube positioned around at least a portion of the receiver. The receiver-supporting element can have a distal end, a proximal end, and a lumen extending proximally from the distal end. At least a portion of the self-expanding receiver can be positioned around at least a portion of a first segment of the receiver-supporting element and the first tube can be positioned around at least a portion of a second segment of the receiver-supporting element. The second tube can include separable portions.

The system isolates a clot using a proximal obstruction device, such as a balloon, to stop blood flow. An expandable device is advanced through the clot and is expanded to disrupt the clot from the vessel walls. The expandable device may include the use of tines, a balloon, negative pressure, adhesives, or jet spray to disrupt and dislodge the clot.
