Abstract
An aspiration catheter comprises a catheter body having an aspiration lumen therethrough. The distal opening of the aspiration lumen can be modified in various ways or can have the addition of structure in order to disrupt sealing between the port and material being aspirated. Examples of modifications include slots, castellations, zig-zag features, and other geometries which resist sealing of aspirated material. Blades, rollers, vibrating elements, and other structures may be provided within or around the distal end of the aspiration lumen in order to dislodge and disrupt aspirated material which can seal against the opening.
