Claim:
1. A clot capture system, comprising: an outer sheath comprising a central lumen; a dual lumen shaft configured to be positioned within the central lumen of the outer sheath; an inner pusher configured to be positioned within a first lumen of the dual lumen shaft; an anchor pusher configured to be positioned within a second lumen of the dual lumen shaft; an anchor coupled to the anchor pusher; a shape memory tubular body comprising a first end, a second end, and an axial length therebetween, the first end having an opening and a capture guide attached to a portion of the opening, wherein the shape memory tubular body and the anchor are compressed in a first configuration, wherein the shape memory tubular body is transformable to a second configuration in which the first end and the capture guide are radially expanded but the second end and a majority of the shape memory tubular body remains compressed within the first lumen of the dual lumen shaft and the shape memory tubular body has a first expanded axial length with a first cross-section, wherein the first cross-section is substantially similar to a cross-section of the capture guide, wherein the shape memory tubular body is transformable to a third configuration in which the shape memory tubular body has a second expanded axial length greater than the first expanded axial length, wherein the shape memory tubular body encapsulates the anchor in the third configuration.
