Abstract

A thrombus suction catheter which is a tube having a distal end opening formed by an angled cut surface. In the distal end opening, at least a part on the proximal end side of the cut surface is formed in a concave shape in an angled direction, and the distal end side of the cut surface is formed to be flat and flexible. With the distal end configuration, suction and crossing are significantly improved.
