#BloodClot #Blockage #TechInsider
Following is the transcript of the video:
This device removes large blood clots. It's the MegaVac Mechanical Thrombectomy System by Capture Vascular. Large blood clots are especially dangerous. During removal, chunks can break apart and clog smaller arteries downstream. But the MegaVac may offer a safer way.
The key? A wire is inserted through the blockage. It can then deploy, expand, and pull back the blockage.
Dr. Chambers: If you don't take the blood clots out and you put a stent in you oftentimes break up the particles and they go downstream and plug up the little tiny vessels called distal embolization and you don't want that to happen. So the MegaVac has been very successful in preventing that from happening at least in our hands.
Here's how it works.
When a large amount of thrombus, or blood clot forms the MegaVac is guided through the artery to the clot. It then expands. By expanding, it temporarily blocks blood flow in that artery.
This prevents blood from pushing chunks of the clot downstream. Those chunks could damage the artery even more.
It can also help doctors remove more of the clot.
Dr. Chambers: The MegaVac is a better device because it allows more thrombus removal and it prevents forward flow in the artery so no blood clot goes downstream to plug up the little tiny vessels. And the net effect is that you remove a large amount of thrombus quickly and successfully.
The benefits?
It may help prevent permanent heart damage and reduce the severity of a heart attack. It may even stop it completely depending on how soon the clot is removed.
The MegaVac is commercially available and FDA approved.
How This Device Safely Removes Blood Clots | Tech Insider
It's really incredible , the things that medical science can do these days !! Twenty years ago thousands of lives could have been saved through these techniques!! AMAZING !!!
Now it's going to really be useful because of the vaccine. So many people have blood clots from it
@@iair-conditiontheoutsideai3076 interesting, so this will force medical industry to push this technology to its limits, improving it and probably making it more accessible to everyone
@@iair-conditiontheoutsideai3076 that's what I was thinking, altho I'm not taking that risk.
Don't forget about the cost folks. From million people, only hundred can afford it. Don't ask government to care and help
Those lived would've potentially been saved if the patient had scans from say 55 every 5 years. Many people that are very fit and healthy don't realise they have a blocked pulmonary artery until they have an arrest or die in their sleep. Angioplasty and stent placement is usually post trauma when pulmonary or cerebral damage has occurred.
It looks easy and clean in animation but it would be really scary if you watch it in reality
Wiji Aulia Prayagati yup
Wiji Aulia Prayagati
Doesn’t matter much as Long as it’s effective and delivers on results.
We were thinking the same thing. The animation is beautiful though!
Wiji Aulia Prayagati of course!
I wish I could have beautiful and flawless veins like the one in the video
Wow this is so incredible. Gratitude to all those doctors and researchers who made this possible.
The engineer who designed this is a genius.
This technique commonly used to clear clogged drain, pipes, or sewer. Maybe inspired from it.
I think I know someone who had this done. Or something similar. It helps people for sure.
Thank you
I highly doubt just one engineer designed this
@@sadatabuhanif7220 idk why that made me laugh lol
Dude that's honestly incredible! Man, it's too bad that people don't focus on amazing things like this more!
Yup credit were credit is due... These people are real heros of our society...
This procedure probably cost an enormous amount of money. Anything more advanced will be an astronomical medical bill and nobody will afford it. That's why they don't want to make any more advances in the medical field.
I've seen this kind of stuff over the years. Even cancer cures such as freezing. I think these are just for somebody's personal amusement giving false hope to the sick
I was told mine can’t be removed lol this looks like they can…
People are always focused on things like this...
Great technology! Hope this will be put into usage all around the world!
Video is 4 years ago
Bayer bought this company, got the rights to everything and the buried it in the deepest hole they could find.
Yeah, that is cool
It probably helps with Covid vaccine related clots so chances are its not available to the average person
@@cuethefart41 So?
It looks expensive
Justin Y. why are you everywhere?
STOP BEING IN EVERY VIDEO I WATCH
Justin Y. Why? It just a few wires and stuff. Nothing fancy.
How many of you are using this account ?
How and why are you everywhere
Whoa, this is crazy cool. I've had a clot in my leg and so I was given blood thinners to keep the clot in place and prevent further build-up while my body naturally broke down the clot (I made a video about my experience as a 20-something with a blood clot on my channel). I'm assuming this device would be used if the clot was in a more vital area of the body such as the heart or lung, is that correct?
I am also suffering this type of DVT diseas last 14 years in both legs. But my doctor not recommend me.
My dad was also suffering from blood clot in heart😔😭, but the doctors made ngo plastic surgery. And put the stent in vines and expanded that and they made flow of blood easy. The doctors didn't sayed this type of surgery 😥.
@@crystalclicks your dad is one of those lucky people's in this world but not my mom
@@crystalclicks You should be happy your dad is still with you
@@crystalclicks I think the only reason why the doctors didn't use this device; using this device is very cheap and the surgery is very expensive; So basically they want you to do the surgery so they could get more money.
The clot shot will make this a big business.

My father had a myocardial infarction and got an angioplasty. Sadly, the infarcts went upto his brain in the occipital lobes and caused him to lose a substantial amount of his eyesight in both eyes. I wish this was there during his procedure.
In english please?
Jokes aside, I’m sorry about your dad!
@@SwitchedDreamz Yeah lol I fixed the spelling errors. It is disturbing for him but we're there for him as much as we can be. Also, for some reason, MI is rapidly increasing in India, especially in the youth. It is concerning and this technology becoming mainstream would be a blessing 🙏🏻
I'm really sorry to hear that. I don't know what to say but I wish only the best for your father.
@@ssortedsceness I mean there must be something causing it
Infarcts means dead tissues. They don't travel anywhere. I think you meant the emboli travelled to his brain and caused cerebral ischemia
hahah wtf was with that thumbnail.
???? XD
LOL
Emmanuel Obinwanor BRO U GOT THE SAME THINKING AS MINE. AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHA
I had to look twice
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I'm not sure what was used on me but this sounds about right. They poke a hole through my right wrist and stuck this long thing down my wrist all the way to my heart to clean my arteries. I was awake the whole procedure. Before I knew it, 2 hours went by just like that. 👍
Where u got done your surgery ?
@@niravpatel1015 it was done in Utah in the U.S.
I’m glad you’re okay.
How about the pain? Didn't u felt pain
@@zaydbehl594 He's given some form of anesthetics since he might've blacked out mid surgery

@@RonLarhz nano*
Brilliant technological development. Thank you scientists and medical personnel for all that you do.
All that expanding and moving within veins or passageways raises questions like will certain ages be affected more severe from this? Can older bodies handle this proceedure? And is the shown animation going to work for every bloodclot?
All surgry has risks. But depending on your age and health it may be the best chance you have. Otherwise heart attack or cardiac arrest will finish you off anyway. The fact this procedure is available can save a life.
If you're physically active old person that has a heart attack, your blood vessels or flexible and this shouldn't be an issue but if you're a lazy person, it could cause it to burst but this is still a safer option versus everything else that's available and that which is pretty much guaranteed if you're needing this if you avoid this unless a miracle happens

This channel really is Tech Insider! I love to see how fast and successful we humans evolving nowadays!
My dad had a massive heart attack that killed him at 62 years old, never had any problems, although he wouldn't have gone to the hospital, I'm the same way, I'm 62 now, seeing this thing in action is amazing, I imagine I already have partial blockages, but just like dad I probably won't go to the hospital.

@@MisterPikol clot shot's
Haha
👀
Watching this is almost as painful as the heart pain that started in January of 2021, which I recently discovered is alleviated by aspirin. I'm 22
I had this used on my second DVT surgery a few days ago. Yes, second. My first had to be stopped early due to blood loss, and was on the 16th of September. My insertion site, was behind my knee, and that is *VERY* painful.
Where you did it,if you please give me the address or location :)
How so? Isn't it supposed to be under limb anaesthesia?
@@Artiick both of my surgeries in September were under general. I had horrible nausea and vomiting with that one. They also were done behind my knee and there is NO physical scars.
@@My03Tundra f. Hopefully everything is now fixed
@@Artiick I’m doing better, have to wear those “wonderful” compression stockings, and may be on a blood thinner for life.
As much as I want to be excited with such finding, I believe only rich people can afford such procedure.
Pikachu u dont have welfare estate in ur country do u?
Pikachu many inventions are expensive. They will get cheaper eventually.
I live in America.
Saving lives are expensive.
Pikachu most countries governmental healthcare system pays this type of health expenses
When I was in for PEA surgery, the critical care unit to my right was an angioplasty surgery and to the left was a heart transplant - 3 amazing and ground breaking techniques going on side by side.
Anyone else thought something else when seeing the thumbnail?
Vito Corleone yup
Like what?
U dont wanna know
dirty mind triggered
yes lol
Its amazing to see how far technology has come
Since this plandémic ?
Must be a huge demand for this procedure now. Good old mandates. 💕
Wouldn’t that be painful?
Lzj 04 blood vessels don't have nerves (from my knowledge)
Or you can have that fun pill where it knocks you out and you can't wake up for about a few hours, during then, you can perform an operation. That's how surgeries are done. You can't numb a large area because, well, for some reason it just doesn't (from my knowledge) Idk if you can numb the area where the blood is clothed or something though
Lzj 04 it gives a lil pressure
Heart attacks are painful too
idk but it would be worth it since u got better
This is fascinating. Cheers to medical advances and the Drs that use this technology everyday. My friend had a stroke last month. Looking bad. They went in his skull found the clot, he was up walking and eating the next morning. Home doing PT.
God bless our Drs and our NURSES !!!
Hey could you guide me more. What is the size of clot of his brain. Location of blot clot in brain.
It would really help me. Since my mom has this clot in brain. Want to compare the case.
Say something
@@ashutoshagrawal hello?
Hmmmn
Amazing work! Much appreciation and thanks to all medical doctors, engineers, researchers etc for this. Hope this device can be distributed all around the world.
Let us also remind ourselves, (diameter of arteries' size internally so) these are micro sized contraptions which make up the apparatus seen in video. If similar ones exist for cerebral occlusion clearing, they would be even smaller. Marvellous design in engineering.
Can this remove blockages in heart arteries as well? If yes, then we can avoid bypass surgeries which is very risky and painful.
If the blockages are calcium, take vitamin k2. If it's a clotting issue, take nattokinase. Or both
Im sitting here watching this laying in Austin hospital this surgery is no joke it hurts and is expensive, hoping to recover
I’m a paramedic/registered nurse I wish we could use stuff like this on scene but we don’t have the equipment or the scope of practice for this . But This device could stop thrombosis, pulmonary embolisms, ischemic strokes , Myocardial infarctions … omg what a life safer !!
I had a PE almost 2 years ago. A similar procedure was done on me. I am alive today because of this procedure.
i think it's not easy to find the clot and manage the pressure..but, i think it's amazing device
maya yohoyo it is very easy actually. Your legs or feet will swallen or your lower member's skin will start dying and producing blissters. It will hurt a lot and will make it difficult to make your legs move. You could lose all sensitivity on the legs or feet. Then you go to the doctor and they schedule this procedure. Under xray they inject contrast medium (like a liquid that its highlighted under the xray) on the potential arteries and where the contrast stops and cant flow anymore is where the bloodcloth is. They could also use Intra Vascular Ultrasound (IVUS) to better asses.
thanks for the info ^^
Really amazing.. my respect For the science and scientists 🙏🙏🙏
Can you tell me your address or give me your mobile number because my forehead is poisoned

Hi @@brittbrittknight , most of the time these things are crazy expensive for multiple reasons. if your on gov. aid you can forget it. you pretty much need to be a contributing member of society. I your interested or just don't believe me, you can do some research.
Is this thing out yet?
Really wanna see people being cured..
Fleshy Fish Yes it is. I think some sizes are FDA approved already. Mostly for the legs. But they plan on making it smaller for BTK (bellow the knee) and possibly Neurovascular (brain)
Oh cool
@@EliasPerez-cf5gp they need it for the heart
There r some people who have done it. Looks like it works.
This device would be coming in very handy atm with the dramatic increase in blood clot related issues being experienced because of the jab!
Finally, a solution to the clot shots!!
to those injec sion
Watching that clot being removed is so satisfying 🙂
Идеально и высококлассно.. вот такие приборы и являются показателем отличных технологий.
This technology just became a lot more important.

With the clot shots, this technology will really come in handy. Good job
They created the problem and the cure to profit!
Funny how it was recommended 4 years later for all of us.
Blood clots?
How can it be?

This a absolutely AMAZING , my husband died from a blood clot. And I,m dying from loosing him so suddenly . But a blood clot is so fatal but yet I,m thinking with all the super intelligent scientist we have all over the world a blood clot seems such a tiny task to master removing it especially in 2023 but yet it kills by the hundreds of thousands humans DAILY . But just looking at the video gives me great joy thinking how many human lives can be saved . Wish my husband could of gotten this done in time ........GREAT VIDEO ❤❤❤❤
Thank you, I'm happy this exists
are you okay? You sound sad...
Well... back to eating my giant chocolate chip cookie cake.
All the vaxed people will need to know this
This is incredible!!! I love this idea and it’s very safe👏🏾
It's awesome, and a new invention to the Medical History
I sell metal and remember visiting a prototype manufacturer in the St. Paul, MN area a few years back. He showed me the prototype for this device and procedure.
Wow,this device helps a lot to preventing heart attack.
Everybody who's had the covid clot shot will be glad to see this 😀
@Jon J unfortunately they will be dead by then and those massive fibrous structures render this useless anyway.
Its been years and nothing happened bro lol you sound just as paranoid as the people who overblew it and bought tons of toilet paper
@@-lord1754 nothing to worry about then, keep taking your boosters for life 👍🏻
@@MrGammyballz I havent taken a single booster but nice assumption weirdo
@@-lord1754 @-Lord ooohhh name calling already, why you mad bro? You made a statement saying nothing has happened and going by your reply, you had the initial vaccine. You may have got lucky and got a placebo or your immune system is strong enough to handle one clot shot. If you take your boosters then you will see the damage they cause. I know this first hand as have had several family members injured from vax
This technology is absolutely amazing.
The thought of another tube inside my tubes makes me cringe.
Wow, Thank you so much for high Tech..🙏& in which State of the US ready practicing ??
Can this or something like this be used to remove arterial blockages?
Could this also work on other obstructions? Such as cholesterol?
Cholesterol builds inside the wall not on it like a clot
Wonderful. But I would like to know causes blood clots. It makes more sense to me to find out the cause and fix it instead of treating the symptom.
can it fix my broken marriage?
inceptionism 😅😔
no

It sure will, if your wife left because of some kind of heart problems.
inceptionism no
Read books! Classical literature
"Rememba kids go get ya BOOSTAS! Then you might get go use this little numba!"
After the coNvid jabs...many will need this
I imagine this is going to be extremely useful in the recovery for many people.
Blood clots are dangerous when there are no treatments immediately.
Can anyone share where this treatment could be done? Please advise
Yes! Need some advice on where to get this procedure done!
How long is the occlusion device engaged? In and of itself will cause transient ischemia. How does this compare to TPA or traditional thrombectomy? Thanks for sharing.
This is an act of mercy. This would prevent heart attacks
jean-claude schwartz Maybe people just shouldn’t eat artery clogging foods, instead of getting an expensive surgery.
Jules_sorta basic the typical American prefers cheap food and expensive surgeries.
benefactionhindrance Well the cheapest food are foods like rice, pasta, potatoes, etc. A vegan lifestyle is very inexpensive. And so buying unhealthy expensive food, to then get and expensive surgery to try and fix some of the harm you have caused yourself is just so.... stupid, but unfortunately typical.
Vaxxies must be jumping for joy ahahhahahaaha
Pov of you sleeping first at a slumber party lol
Can it also be used to remove arterial plaque?
Yes
how can the blood continue to flow while its operating?
i see thank you
Im a simple otaku i see meliodas? I liked
They mentioned in the video that they don't want it to flow because it can carry clot particles downstream.
JustinRay 2711 “by expanding, it temporally blocks blood flow in that artery”
for some reason when I pictured a bood clot it did not look as awful as what’s pictured. I am going to start taking niacin periodically, few times I have felt some struggle, not sure exactly what I felt but this’ll get your attention
Very useful for anyone that has taken the covid vaccine
The thumbnail looks wrong.
PotatoTomato T-T lol
I had that stent on my heart,i even watched it over the screen monitor while my surgeon was performing it. No pain, no swelling, a big relief for
The key questions here is the cost. Making it would be actually quite cheap but because of corporations greed it will probably 1000x more expensive then its actual price. When innovation is couple with greed we get corruption and malicious intentions.
This feels so smooth and painless but trust me, my neighbor gone through this she was literally crying because of pain in her body after this treatment
Possibly strained the vein from expanding
What will you do if, when a blood clot is punctured, a piece of it breaks off and goes into a branch vein or is pushed far forward with a pin, so that the balloon will inflate in front of this piece later and cannot be reached? Since you are stopping the flow of blood in a vein, is there a risk of new blood clots forming? Do you use heparin?
May god bless the inventor and the doctors

Slaster Bro..........
Blood clots are terrible, I had one develop in my leg because I contracted pneumonia for a week which made me sedentary. After vigorous testing, I had a blood disorder that made my blood prone to clots that I never knew about. This happened my junior year in high school, I’m a freshman in college now.
Doest it pain when u have it
What was your blood disorder?
A friend of mine just underwent this procedure. Saved his life.
we will need a lot of those since the covid vaccination
Wonder why this video is being pushed right now? Couldn't be for that unmentionable thing we dare not mention 💉💀

Does it work with bio structures ( MRNA) blood clots???
stop taking boosters
THIS IS AWESOME. PAIRS PERFECTLY WITH THE COVID VACCINES.
Covid is more likely to cause blood clots than any vaccine.
@@jondickinson6830 No, it is just the virus itself which put your immune system to test. Vaccine is more than a minimal version of virus. I prefer covid over vaccine.
@@karllumiste9798 "No, it is just the virus itself which put your immune system to test" That's what I said. The virus, AKA Covid, is more likely to cause blood clots than the vaccine. That's just a fact, your preference doesn't change that.
@@karllumiste9798 "vaccine" is mrna therapy that forces your cells to produce spike protein "similar" to the virus. Its not an inactivated version of the virus. Thats why this is not a vaccine and doesnt sterilize the virus nor does it provide protection from it. It has a plethora of harmful side effects due to not being tested properly and forcing your body to produce the toxic spike protein.
Trying to imagine a WIRE inside a VEIN on my HEART alone may give me a heart attack. I hope they never explain to their patients how the procedure works
You want a heart attack consider that during a coronary bypass graft (open heart surgery) the heart is actually stopped for over an hour and then hopefully starts back up when they turn off the bypass machine.
With all the blood clot shots that were taken, this will make lots of money.
A needle is inserted through the blood clot, what if that needle moves that blood clot further far from device rather than penetrating it?🤔
Well the thrombus is probably first located through MRI or CT, so that wouldn’t happen
@@colin-kun3611 yeah thrombus may be located first but my doubt is "could the penetration of device made possible everytime?" because i think density of thrombus plays a major role in this operation
praveen kumar well u r right, how in hell are they gonna get it into an artery close to the heart. Though penetration shouldn’t be a problem, it doesn’t matter how hard is the thrombus, we are talking about either steel or nano-technology, which is 100 times tougher than steel.
@@colin-kun3611 yeah you are right but im not talking about hardness of device....the other end of thrombus is free right, so what if moment of device ends in pushing movement rather than penetrating movement because there is no grip to hold the thrombus in the opposite end so it is free to move...this is what exactly im talking about
praveen kumar unless the device totally shatters the thrombus to many small pieces, then it might move a little bit on the opposite direction -however not too far, since the device blocks the stream of blood, so there ain’t no kinetic energy flowing throw the blood’s components-. However usually a thrombus is literally glued to the walls of the artery and doesn’t move easily at all, if it did, then the bloodstream itself would have long ago flushed it down to a perhaps smaller capillary.
Does this work for protein S blood deficiency which is the type of blood clot ive had in my legs since i was 17, im on a lifetime medical plan and worst case scenario for me is amputation or premature death, if this is an alternative id be willing to try, also is it expensive and what is the success rate
Need to buy stock in these considering all the “sudden adult death syndrome” going on!
Yea these climate changes are becoming more dangerous lately.
U know what, it is really tiny so how do u insert this thing inside the arteries that it is really really smal??? Of course expensive
PrinceJungkook 01 they already insert such devices through arteries thousands of times daily basis . This one is lil more advanced
Depending on the location of the blockage they'll insert it by making a small opening on the blood vessel typically through your neck, upper thigh or arm.
OOFFFFFFFFFFFFFF an ARMY HI army
Britt L this is fake news. NEVER THRU THE NECK. First: the carotid arteries are really small and 2nd there is no easy access anywhere else and 3rd you could risk more damage to the brain arteries or distal embolism.
They make their entrance via femoral (groin area), or radial access (wrist), depending on the size of the device (french)
This is not super small. The aorta, renal and femoral arteries are bigger than you think. If you wanna see very small devices check neurovascular interventions those are really small, like embolisation coils, mirage guidewires, flow diverters etc.
