What is AngioJet thrombectomy, and how does it work to remove blood clots?

How does AngioJet thrombectomy work, and why is it considered an effective treatment for removing large or acute blood clots?

This procedure uses a catheter and saline jets to break up and remove blood clots. From what I’ve seen, it works especially well for larger clots or ones that cause a lot of swelling. Recovery tends to be quicker and easier than with traditional surgery.
