Zusammenfassung:A thrombectomy system is disclosed. The thrombectomy system comprises a delivery catheter; an aspiration catheter; a self-expandable segment defining a distal end and a proximal end and configured to adapt its shape to the blood vessel from a retracted position in a compressed state when inside the delivery catheter to an expanded position, once coming out of the delivery catheter, to be appositioned against an inner wall of the blood vessel to receive and retain a thrombus; a clot-capture element configured to capture the thrombus and to be at least partially withdrawn with the captured thrombus into the self-expandable segment; and a microcatheter adapted to carry the clot-capture element to the thrombus. The self-expandable segment comprises a non-permeable covering. The clot-capture element is movably disposed within the microcatheter in a retracted position. The microcatheter is movably disposed within the aspiration catheter.
