Mechanical thrombectomy is a revolutionary endovascular procedure used to physically remove blood clots from large blood vessels, most commonly to treat acute ischemic stroke. This minimally invasive technique involves threading specialized devices through the vascular system to entrap and extract the obstruction, restoring critical blood flow to the brain. The illustration provided demonstrates the step-by-step mechanism of a stent retriever, a specific tool designed to integrate with the thrombus for safe removal.

Discover the AngioJet thrombectomy system, an advanced medical device used to rapidly remove blood clots from arteries and veins. This technology is critical in treating acute thrombotic events, restoring essential blood flow, and improving outcomes for patients with life-threatening conditions such as heart attacks and deep vein thrombosis.
