The difference:
Main Entry: cath·e·ter
Pronunciation: kath-t-r, kath-tr
Function: noun
: a tubular medical device for insertion into canals, vessels, passageways, or body cavities for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes (as to permit injection or withdrawal of fluids or to keep a passage open)

Main Entry: 1probe
Pronunciation: prb
Function: noun
1 : a surgical instrument that consists typically of a light slender fairly flexible pointed metal instrument like a small rod that is used typically for locating a foreign body (as a bullet embedded in a part of the body), for exploring a wound or suppurative tract by prodding or piercing, or for penetrating and exploring bodily passages and cavities
2 : a device (as an ultrasound generator) or a substance (as radioactively labeled DNA) used to obtain specific information (as detection of a virus or location of specific segments of a nucleic acid) for diagnostic or experimental purposes <the radioactive probe revealed the distribution of molecules in the membrane>

Apparently, the 'suction catheter' is used for clearing airways, and the 'aspiration catheter' for embolias, among other uses. But I am NOT a doctor. Anyway, it seems to depend on what it is used for, and how
