Inca Trellis Thrombolysis System

A catheter delivering thrombolytic agents while filter protection prevents distal embolization, ensuring safer pharmacologic dissolution of clots.

The Inca Trellis Thrombolysis System is a comprehensive, catheter-based solution developed for acute thrombolysis and prophylactic intervention in venous thrombosis. By combining an IVC filter with a triple-lumen central venous catheter, the system provides immediate pulmonary embolism (PE) protection while enabling direct thrombolytic infusion, covering scenarios such as acute PE, VTE (venous thromboembolism), and ICU-based prophylaxis. Through its smart, elegant design, Inca Trellis aims to deliver permanent solutions for acute venous thrombosis—minimizing PE risk, securing venous patency, and ensuring retrievability of the filter if needed.

Combined IVC Filter and Triple-Lumen Catheter
  • IVC Filter: Permanently attached to serve as a prophylactic barrier against pulmonary emboli, particularly relevant for high-risk or critically ill patients.
  • Triple-Lumen Design: Delivers simultaneous functions such as thrombolytic agent infusion, central venous access for medications or fluids, and real-time hemodynamic monitoring if needed.
  • Immediate Embolic Capture: The filter obstructs clots from migrating to the pulmonary circulation, a critical capability for ICU patients or those with acute PE risk.
  • Retrievability Promise: Unlike many permanent filters, the Inca Trellis system’s design ensures retrieval if indicated, a game-changing advantage.
  • Focused Catheter-Based Lysis: Enables local infusion of thrombolytic agents near or within the clot, potentially reducing dosage and systemic side effects.
  • Versatile in VTE & Thrombectomy: Addresses both acute DVT and prophylactic use in patients with compromised venous flow.
  • Catheter Profiles: Available in 5F–9F diameters, optimizing access in both smaller and larger vessels.
  • Length Range: 45 cm – 110 cm to accommodate various venous access sites, from jugular or subclavian to femoral approaches.
