Problem
Venous thromboembolism (VTE), encompassing deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), poses a significant threat, with high mortality rates and long-term complications. Traditional thrombectomy methods can be limited by multiple wire exchanges, empty aspirations, vessel wall latching, and potential blood loss, hindering efficient and safe clot removal.
Solution
The AVENTUS Thrombectomy System offers a fully integrated solution for the non-surgical removal of emboli and thrombi from blood vessels. The system combines navigation, aspiration, and blood return with proprietary TrueClot™ sensing technology to enhance ease of use and precision during mechanical thrombectomy procedures. TrueClot™ sensing enables precise directional aspiration, minimizing empty aspirations and reducing vessel wall latching. The system is designed for single-pass thrombectomy with minimal wire exchanges and streamlined blood return.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes interventional radiologists, vascular surgeons, and other healthcare providers who perform thrombectomy procedures for patients with VTE.
