Abstract
A device for assisting in the removal of items endovascularly includes a catheter, a cutting head, and a pull wire. The pull wire has a proximal portion protruding from a proximal end of the catheter and a distal end connected to the cutting head. The pull wire is movable within the catheter to selectively extend and retract the cutting head from the distal end of the catheter. The cutting head is arranged to hold and/or cut an item to be removed.
