ABSTRACT:
A thrombectomy catheter has a flexible twisted guide probe along which the catheter tube and tool can be threaded into an artery and which is driven by its end remote from an exploratory finger formed by the guide probe and projecting beyond a cutting tool at the end of the tube. The guide probe delivers torque to the tool to rotate the latter thereby eliminating the need to extract the guide probe from the tube and insert a separate drive element.
