Methods and systems for enhancing fluid flow through an obstructed vascular site

Abstract From the Canadian patent

Methods of enhancing fluid flow through a vascular site occupied by a vascular occlusion, as well as systems and kits for use in practicing the same are , provided. In practicing the subject methods the vascular site is flushed , simultaneously with a first dissolution fluid (e.g. an organic matter dissolution fluid and/or an inorganic matter dissolution fluid) and a second , dissolution fluid attenuating fluid where flushing is carried out in a manner such that only a surface of the vascular occlusion is contacted with the nonattenuated dissolution fluid. Examples of dissolution fluid/dissolution fluid attenuating fluid pairs include: (1) oxidizing agent fluid and fluid comprising …
