Claim 0:
1. A method of imaging a blood clot within a blood vessel, the method comprising:
introducing an elongate body having a radially expandable distal seal beyond the blood clot such that the distal seal is disposed distal to the blood clot;
under fluoroscopic imaging with the distal seal disposed distal to the blood clot, introducing via the elongate body a fluid imaging agent through a perforation in the elongate body disposed between a proximal end of the distal seal and a distal end of the distal seal (1) to provide a uniform pressurized region within an area defined between a distal end of the blood clot and the distal end of the distal seal and (2) to radially pressurize the distal seal against an interior wall surface of the blood vessel distal to the blood clot; and
imaging the imaging agent within the blood vessel to identify at least a portion of the blood clot within the blood vessel.
