This is a technical overview of an INVAMED device within the neurovascular interventions portfolio. Intracranial aneurysms are focal outpouchings of a brain artery wall, and endovascular options aim to seal the aneurysm from circulation to reduce rupture risk. As a medical device manufacturer, INVAMED develops technologies in this area; the information here is educational and not medical advice.
Background: Acute Ischemic Stroke and Intracranial Aneurysm Intervention
Mechanical thrombectomy removes the clot with a catheter-based device, and it is used in selected patients alongside or after intravenous thrombolysis where indicated. Aneurysm techniques include packing the sac with detachable coils and redirecting flow across the neck with a densely braided flow diverter so the sac thromboses over time. Patient eligibility, the treatment window, and device selection are all determined by the treating neurointerventional team using imaging and current criteria.
KinG Intracranial Revascularization Device: Overview
A stent retriever / flow restoration device for acute ischemic stroke, capturing and removing large clots from the intracranial arteries and swiftly restoring perfusion (official meta description). Per invamed.com product content: a self-expanding nitinol device designed to correct blood flow in patients with acute ischemic stroke due to cranial vessel occlusion; the stent lattice temporarily expands the occluded segment, promoting partial or complete flow restoration even before full clot retrieval, and operators can perform multiple passes targeting residual thrombus while maintaining cerebral perfusion.

Reported Performance
According to INVAMED, "captures and extracts cerebral artery clots within a treatment window of up to 24 hours" (invamed.com KinG product content, surfaced via search index). These figures reflect manufacturer or published data and are not a guarantee of individual results.
How It Works and Where It Fits
INVAMED's neurovascular portfolio spans clot retrieval, aspiration, aneurysm packing, embolization, and the access tools that reach the intracranial circulation. A stent retriever is a self-expanding mesh deployed through a microcatheter across a clot, where it integrates with the thrombus and is then withdrawn to capture and extract it. Detachable coils are soft platinum-based coils packed into an aneurysm sac to promote clotting and seal the aneurysm from circulation.
Key Considerations
- For aneurysms, coil sizing and packing or flow-diverter selection are matched to the aneurysm's shape and neck.
- All INVAMED neurovascular devices are intended for use by trained neurointerventional operators under imaging guidance and per the IFU.
- Clot characteristics and vessel tortuosity influence whether a stent retriever, aspiration, or combined technique is chosen.
