An elongate embolectomy device biased to expand from a radially constrained configuration to a radially expanded configuration when released from a delivery catheter within a blood vessel, the embolectomy device comprising: a first elongate spine member extending along a longitudinal axis of the embolectomy device; a second elongate spine member extending along the longitudinal axis of the embolectomy device, substantially parallel with the first elongate spine member; a first plurality of clot engaging structures, each clot engaging structure of the first plurality having a first end attached to the first elongate spine member and a second end attached to the second elongate spine member; and a second plurality of clot engaging structures, each clot engaging structure of the second plurality having a first end attached to the first elongate spine member at a location in which the first end of a corresponding clot engaging structure of the first plurality is attached to the first elongate spine member, and a second end attached to the second elongate spine member at a location in which the second end of the corresponding clot engaging structure of the first plurality is attached to the second elongate spine member, wherein the respective clot engaging structures (170, 180) are resilient and configured such that, when the embolectomy device is unsheathed within in a blood vessel alongside a clot, the clot engaging structures (170, 180) of one of the first and second plurality contact and compress against a wall of the blood vessel to provide a biasing force to facilitate engagement of the clot engaging structures (170, 180) of the other one of the first and second plurality with the clot, characterized in that each of the clot engaging structures (170, 180) comprises respective curved portions (173, 183) that extend from the first elongate spine member to a middle portion (175, 185) of the clot engaging structure, and from the middle portion (175, 185) to the second elongate spine member, wherein the respective middle portions (175, 185) of the clot engaging structures have a chevron/furcula-like configuration. a first elongate spine member extending along a longitudinal axis of the embolectomy device; a second elongate spine member extending along the longitudinal axis of the embolectomy device, substantially parallel with the first elongate spine member; a first plurality of clot engaging structures, each clot engaging structure of the first plurality having a first end attached to the first elongate spine member and a second end attached to the second elongate spine member; and a second plurality of clot engaging structures, each clot engaging structure of the second plurality having a first end attached to the first elongate spine member at a location in which the first end of a corresponding clot engaging structure of the first plurality is attached to the first elongate spine member, and a second end attached to the second elongate spine member at a location in which the second end of the corresponding clot engaging structure of the first plurality is attached to the second elongate spine member, wherein the respective clot engaging structures (170, 180) are resilient and configured such that, when the embolectomy device is unsheathed within in a blood vessel alongside a clot, the clot engaging structures (170, 180) of one of the first and second plurality contact and compress against a wall of the blood vessel to provide a biasing force to facilitate engagement of the clot engaging structures (170, 180) of the other one of the first and second plurality with the clot, characterized in that each of the clot engaging structures (170, 180) comprises respective curved portions (173, 183) that extend from the first elongate spine member to a middle portion (175, 185) of the clot engaging structure, and from the middle portion (175, 185) to the second elongate spine member, wherein the respective middle portions (175, 185) of the clot engaging structures have a chevron/furcula-like configuration.
