Zusammenfassung:An aspiration catheter for assisting in the retrieval of a clot from a vessel of a patient including at least one electrode pair and a first pressure sensor positioned within an inner lumen of the aspiration catheter and a second and third pressure sensor positioned on an exterior surface of the aspiration catheter. The electrode pair and pressure sensors are in electrical communication with a control console. The control console is configured to modulate an aspiration vacuum pressure waveform pattern applied through the aspiration catheter based on electrical and pressure inputs from the one or more sensors, and optionally based on a blood pressure waveform pattern of the patient.
