Claim 12:
13. A medical device comprising:
a first elongate member having a proximal region configured to be coupled to a first electrical terminal and a distal region configured to be positioned adjacent a thrombus in a blood vessel;
a second elongate member having a proximal end portion configured to be coupled to a second electrical terminal and a distal end portion; and
a mesh having a first end portion coupled to the distal end portion of the second elongate member and a second end portion uncoupled from the first and second elongate members, the mesh being movable between (a) a first position in which the second end portion is proximal of the first end portion, and (b) a second position in which the second end portion is distal of the first end portion,
wherein when the device is positioned within the blood vessel and the mesh is in the first position, proximal movement of the second elongate member causes the mesh to move from the first position towards the second position.
