This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853), is funding the development of a novel aspiration pump for neurointerventional procedures. The project aims to address the clinical need for improved revascularization rates and outcomes in the treatment of ischemic strokes through the use of advanced aspiration technology. Key innovations of the proposed aspiration pump include a unique aspiration mechanism, compatibility with standard catheters, and real-time feedback to notify clinicians of procedure status. The total funding award is $693,385 and the project is scheduled for completion by February 2026. The awardee, VON Vascular, Inc., will validate the paradigm-shifting aspiration pump technology using physiologically relevant soft and hard clots to optimize the approach for the full spectrum of conditions encountered in the clinic.
