Methods of enhancing fluid flow through a vascular site occupied by a vascular occlusion, as well as systems and kits for use in practicing the same, are provided. In practicing the subject methods, the vascular site is flushed simultaneously with a first dissolution fluid (e.g., an organic matter dissolution fluid and/or an inorganic matter dissolution fluid), and a second dissolution fluid attenuating fluid, where flushing is carried out in a manner such that only a surface of the vascular occlusion is contacted with the non- attenuated dissolution fluid. Examples of dissolution fluid/dissolution fluid attenuating fluid pairs include: (1) oxidizing agent fluid and fluid comprising oxidizable neutralizing agent; (2) surfactant fluid and phosphate buffered saline; (3) acidic solution and phosphate buffered saline; etc. Flushing is carried out in this manner for a period of time sufficient for fluid flow through the vascular site to be enhanced, e.g. increased or established. The subject methods, systems and kits for practicing the same find use in the treatment of a variety of different vascular diseases characterized by the presence of vascular occlusions, including both partial and total occlusions.

L'invention concerne des procédés destinés à améliorer la circulation fluidique au travers d'un site vasculaire occupé par une occlusion vasculaire, ainsi que des systèmes et des ensembles destinés à cet effet. Selon ledit procédé, le site vasculaire est rincé simultanément au moyen d'un premier fluide de dissolution (par ex. un fluide de dissolution de matière organique et/ou un fluide de dissolution de matière inorganique) et d'un deuxième fluide d'atténuation de fluide de dissolution, le rinçage étant effectué de manière qu'au moins une surface de l'occlusion vasculaire soit mise au contact du fluide de dissolution non-atténué. Des couples de fluide de dissolution et de fluide d'atténuation de fluide de dissolution comportent (1) un fluide d'agent d'oxydation et un fluide comportant un agent de neutralisation d'oxydation, (2) un fluide tensioactif et un salin à tampon phosphorique, (3) une solution acide et un salin à tampon phosphorique, etc. Le rinçage est effectué de cette manière sur une durée suffisante pour que le flux fluidique parcourt le site vasculaire devant être nettoyé, par ex. augmenté ou établi. Les procédés, systèmes et ensembles selon l'invention servent au traitement de nombreuses maladies vasculaires différentes caractérisées par la présence d'occlusions vasculaires partielles ou totales.
