Abstract
Presented is a study involving (i) theoretical modelling of the newly invented ‘GP’ Mechanical Thrombectomy Device (MTD) and (ii) laboratory verification of the theoretical modelling. For the latter, the MTD was placed in two positions (i) end mounted on a classic Seldinger catheter and (ii) embedded within the Seldinger catheter. Blood clots from porcine arteries supported in an arterial jig assembly were extracted. The results indicated that clot removal volumes were less with the embedded device and supported the theoretical modelling findings in respect of pressures required to facilitate clot removal.
