Abstract:
Systems and methods can remove material of interest, including blood clots, from a body region, including but not limited to the circulatory system for the treatment of pulmonary embolism (PE), deep vein thrombosis (DVT), cerebrovascular embolism, and other vascular occlusions.

Claim (Index 33):
A method of using a clot capture system, comprising:\n positioning a clot capture system near an obstruction, the clot capture system comprising:\n an expandable guide catheter; \n a tubular body comprising a first end, a second end, and an axial length therebetween, the first end having an opening, wherein the tubular body is compressed in a first configuration, \n transforming the tubular body to a second configuration in which at least the first end of the tubular body is expanded but the second end of the tubular body and a portion of the tubular body remains compressed, and wherein the tubular body has a first expanded axial length; transforming the tubular body to a third configuration in which the tubular body has a second expanded axial length greater than the first expanded axial length to encapsulate the obstruction; and retracting the tubular body through the expandable guide catheter.
