Claim 0:
1. A clot removal device, comprising a plurality of segments that includes at least a first segment and a second segment, each segment of the plurality of segments having two main struts that serve as a supporting frame that is connected to a plurality of secondary struts, wherein:
the plurality of secondary struts form a lattice of cells for each segment of the plurality of segments;
the two main struts of the first segment having proximal ends that are connected to each other at a proximal point of the first segment, and distal ends terminating at separate connecting points that are distal from the proximal point, with the connecting points being connected to each other to form a generally tubular structure defining an inner lumen for the first segment, and having a first segment distal opening defined adjacent the distal ends of the two main struts; and
the two main struts of the second segment having proximal ends connected to the first segment, and the two main struts of the second segment also having distal ends that are connected to each other in the second segment, with a second segment distal opening defined adjacent the distal ends of the two main struts of the second segment;
wherein the first and second segments are opposed by 180 degrees, and connected in a helical configuration; and
wherein the clot removal device is configured to be delivered to a location at or adjacent to a clot or embolus in the blood vessel, and the plurality of segments are configured to be expanded at or adjacent the location of the clot or embolus.
