What am I looking at?
Visual recognition
Console-driven thrombectomy catheter connected to a dedicated pump and tubing circuit, creating a recognizable system-level setup rather than a stand-alone aspiration catheter.

Recognition, context, and distinction
What does it do, and where will I see it?
Use & procedural context
Rheolytic thrombectomy that uses high-velocity saline jets to macerate and aspirate clot, with an optional power-pulse lytic mode. Typical procedural contexts include dialysis-access thrombosis, DVT, and peripheral arterial thrombosis.
What most clearly distinguishes it from similar devices?
Key distinctions
AngioJet™ uses a rheolytic mechanism with high-velocity saline jets and aspiration, distinguishing it from simple aspiration catheters, mechanical retrieval systems, and infusion-only thrombolysis.
