Thrombus is a blood clot. It’s the body’s way of stopping bleeding and allowing an injury to heal. On the skin surface, when you get a cut or scrape, a clot will form and turn into a scab. But inside the arteries and veins throughout the body, blood clots can be a problem. Without treatment, a clot inside a blood vessel may block the flow of blood. This can cause an emergency situation such as heart attack, stroke or threatened limb loss.

The Possis AngioJet Rheolytic™ Thrombectomy system is currently approved to treat thrombus in three vascular areas of the body: heart, legs and dialysis access conduits (grafts and native fistulas). As a mechanical thrombectomy system, AngioJet treatment is effective, safe and minimally invasive, and can help restore blood flow in minutes.
