The MegaVac is guided through the artery to the point of the clot's formation. A tiny needle, with a wire inside, is inserted through the blockage. When it reaches the clot, the wire expands and forms a balloon mesh. The clot is then smashed into tiny pieces, and the mesh prevents the bits and pieces from moving downstream. This allows doctors to remove the dangerous chunks with ease.
The MegaVac is superior to traditional methods as it prevents forward flow in the artery, ensuring that no blood clot goes downstream to clog smaller vessels. It also allows for more thrombus removal and has a higher success rate.
The MegaVac has several benefits including preventing permanent heart damage and reducing the severity of a heart attack. It is commercially available and FDA-approved. It is a simple yet a huge technological advancement in the field of blood clot removal.
