Catheter Assembly for Blood Clots Removal

1 . An endovascular catheter comprising:

an elongate catheter body having a distal portion, a proximal portion, a transition portion and a central lumen extending longitudinally through the catheter body, wherein the distal portion has a larger central lumen than the proximal portion, wherein the catheter body comprises an inner wall on the distal portion and an inner wall on the proximal portion, wherein the distal portion has a distal tip having a distal end and an outer wall and wherein the proximal portion has an outer wall;

a hole located on the transition portion;

a guidewire tube having a distal end, a proximal end and an inner lumen extending longitudinally and wherein the guidewire tube is affixed to the inner wall of the distal portion; and

wherein the guidewire tube is extended through the hole in the transition portion from the proximal end of the distal portion through the central lumen of the distal portion and through the distal tip of the distal portion; and wherein the distal end of the guidewire tube is terminated outside of the distal end of distal tip of the distal portion and is the most distal part of the endovascular catheter.

2 . The catheter of claim 1 , wherein the proximal end of the guidewire tube is affixed to the transition portion of the catheter body.

3 . The catheter of claim 1 , wherein the distal end of the guidewire tube is affixed to the inner wall of the distal tip of the distal portion.

4 - 8 . (canceled)

9 . The catheter of claim 1 , wherein the distal end of the catheter body is angulated and has an angle with respect to a longitudinal axis ranging between 20-90 degrees.

10 . The catheter of claim 1 , wherein a radiopaque marker is located on the distal tip.

11 . The catheter of claim 1 , wherein the distal end of the guidewire tube is spaced-apart from the distal end of the distal tip.
