Abstract

Disclosed herein are catheters for use with clot treatment systems, and associated devices and methods. The catheter can include an outer sheath, an outer sheath drive component operably coupled to the outer sheath, a guidewire sheath slidably disposed within the outer sheath, a guidewire sheath drive component operably coupled to the guidewire sheath and slidably disposed within the outer sheath drive component, and a clot treatment component. During a clot treatment procedure, the outer sheath drive component can be moved proximally and/or the guidewire sheath drive component can be moved distally to cause corresponding movement of the outer sheath and/or guidewire sheath, respectively, and transition the catheter between a first configuration, in which the clot treatment component can be positioned within the outer sheath, and a second configuration, in which at least part of the clot treatment component can extend beyond the outer sheath.

5 . The catheter of claim 4 wherein at least a portion of the clot treatment component is coupled to the distal segment of the guidewire sheath.

6 . The catheter of claim 5 wherein the distal segment of the guidewire sheath includes a distal tip of the catheter, and wherein at least the portion of the clot treatment component is coupled to the distal tip.

7 . The catheter of claim 4 wherein at least a portion of the clot treatment component is slidably disposed on the distal segment.

8 . The catheter of claim 4 wherein the guidewire sheath further includes an intermediate segment extending between the distal segment and the proximal segment, wherein the intermediate segment is sloped radially inward from the proximal segment toward the distal segment.

9 . The catheter of claim 1 wherein the guidewire sheath includes a distal segment centered within the outer sheath lumen, and wherein at least a portion of the clot treatment component is coupled to the distal segment of the guidewire sheath.

10 . The catheter of claim 9 wherein the distal segment of the guidewire sheath includes a distal tip of the catheter, and wherein at least the portion of the clot treatment component is coupled to the distal tip.

11 . The catheter of claim 9 wherein at least a portion the clot treatment component is slidably disposed on the distal segment of the guidewire sheath.

12 . The catheter of claim 9 wherein the guidewire sheath further includes a proximal segment positioned radially outwardly from the distal segment of the guidewire sheath.

13 . The catheter of claim 12 wherein the proximal segment is not centered within the outer sheath lumen.

14 . The catheter of claim 12 wherein the guidewire sheath further includes an intermediate segment extending between the distal segment and the proximal segment, wherein the intermediate segment is sloped radially inward from the proximal segment toward the distal segment.

15 . A method for intravascular treatment of clot material from within a blood vessel of a human patient, the method comprising:

advancing a catheter distally through the blood vessel; and

transitioning the catheter from (i) a first configuration in which a clot treatment component of the catheter is positioned within an outer sheath lumen of an outer sheath of the catheter, and (ii) a second configuration in which at least a portion of the clot treatment component is exposed from the outer sheath lumen,

wherein the catheter includes (a) an outer sheath drive component including an outer sheath drive component lumen and coupled to the outer sheath and (b) an elongate member operably coupled to the clot treatment component and slidably disposed within the outer sheath drive component lumen, and

wherein transitioning the catheter includes at least one of—

moving the outer sheath drive component in a first direction relative to the clot treatment component to cause the outer sheath to uncover at least the portion of the clot treatment component, and/or

moving the elongate member in a second direction relative to the outer sheath to cause at least the portion of the clot treatment component to extend beyond the outer sheath lumen.

16 . The method of claim 15 wherein the second direction is opposite the first direction.

17 . The method of claim 15 , further comprising causing the clot treatment component to expand when the catheter is in the second configuration.

18 . The method of claim 17 wherein causing the clot treatment component to expand includes transitioning the catheter to the second configuration to allow the clot treatment component to expand.

19 . The method of claim 17 wherein causing the clot treatment component to expand includes moving a clot treatment drive component operably coupled to the clot treatment component relative to a guidewire sheath positioned within the catheter and adjacent to the outer sheath drive component.

20 . The method of claim 17 wherein causing the clot treatment component to expand includes moving a drive cuff of the catheter to cause the expansion of the clot treatment component.

21 . The method of claim 20 wherein moving the drive cuff includes moving the drive cuff in the first direction relative to the clot treatment component to drive the expansion of the clot treatment component.

22 . The method of claim 20 wherein moving the drive cuff includes moving the drive cuff in the first direction relative to the clot treatment component to allow the clot treatment component to expand.

23 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the elongate member includes a guidewire sheath drive component, and wherein moving the elongate member includes moving the guidewire sheath drive component in the second direction relative to the outer sheath to cause at least the portion of the clot treatment component to extend beyond the outer sheath lumen.

24 . The method of claim 23 wherein moving the guidewire sheath drive component includes causing movement of a guidewire sheath operably coupled to the guidewire sheath drive component, and wherein the clot treatment component is operably coupled to the guidewire sheath so that causing movement of the guidewire sheath includes causing at least the portion of the clot treatment component to extend beyond the outer sheath lumen.

25 . A catheter for treating a human patient, the catheter comprising:

the clot treatment drive component is configured to transition the clot treatment component between (i) a first state in which the clot treatment component has a first dimension, and (ii) a second state in which the clot treatment component has a second dimension greater or less than the first dimension.

26 . The catheter of claim 25 wherein:

in the first state, the clot treatment component has a first mechanical property, and

in the second state, the clot treatment component has a second mechanical property.

27 . The catheter of claim 26 wherein:

the first mechanical property includes at least one of a first radial force, a first tensile force, a first compressive force, and/or a first shape, and
