Abstract
This disclosure generally relates to systems and methods for facilitating flow within vasculature or other body lumens, channels or passages involving a magnetic field generated by an external magnetic control system and/or facilitating clearance of obstructions (e.g., clots, fluid obstructions) within in-dwelling devices (e.g., shunts, drains, conduits, ports, catheters) involving magnetic particles (e.g., nanoparticles, microparticles) controlled by an external magnetic control system (e.g., one or more rotating permanent magnets or an electromagnetic control system).
