Embolectomy catheters are devices used for the removal of fresh emboli and thrombi from coronary and peripheral vessels, operating through mechanical extraction or percutaneous suction techniques. They are employed in interventional procedures across the coronary arteries, peripheral vascular system, carotid arteries, and saphenous vein grafts to prevent distal embolisation during angioplasty and stenting procedures.
