Zusammenfassung:Described are methods, systems, devices for facilitation of intraluminal medical procedures within the neurovasculature. A catheter advancement device includes a flexible elongate body having a proximal portion coupled to a proximal end region of the flexible elongate body and extending proximally to a proximal-most end of the catheter advancement element. A hardness of the flexible elongate body transitions proximally towards increasingly harder materials up to the proximal portion forming a first plurality of material transitions. At least a portion of the flexible elongate body is formed of a plurality of layers including a reinforcement layer. An outer diameter of the flexible elongate body is sized to be positioned coaxially within a lumen of a catheter such that a distal tip portion of the flexible elongate body extends distally beyond a distal end of the catheter to aid in delivery of the catheter to an intracranial vessel.
