Zusammenfassung:An example aspiration system includes an inner member configured to be received within an aspiration catheter lumen and. disrupt a thrombus positioned within vasculature of a patient. Tire inner member includes a distal member at a distal portion of an elongated support member, where the distal member is configured to fit within the aspiration catheter lumen. The distal member defines a larger cross-sectional dimension than the elongated support member, the cross-section being taken in a direction orthogonal to a. longitudinal axis of the support member, and is configured to be deployed distally outward from a distal opening of the aspiration catheter lumen to contact and disrupt a thrombus to facilitate the efficiency of a. medical aspiration procedure. The distal member may include one or more tapered portions and a surface disruption configured to aid with the thrombus disruption.
