Abstract
An endovascular medical system for use with a clot located in a target vessel. The system including a guidewire formed by a core wire. The guidewire extending in a longitudinal direction from a proximal end to an opposite atraumatic clot-circumventing configured distal end; and a lateral direction of the atraumatic clot-circumventing configured distal end of the guidewire being defined transverse to the longitudinal direction of the guidewire. The atraumatic clot-circumventing configured distal end is designed to prevent injury to an inner wall of the target vessel and prohibit insertion of any portion of the guidewire into a perforator vessel.
