Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided for passing an embolus into and through the lumen of a catheter to reach a destination in a blood vessel or the like. Once the embolus emerges from the catheter, it lodges in place at the destination in the blood vessel to allow formation of a vessel-occluding blood clot around the embolus.
