Abstract:
Catheter-delivered endovascular medical devices are described. The devices may include a pull wire attached to a distal body, which may be formed of a basket or other framework that has a plurality of cells. The pull wire may be extra long to allow a secondary device, such as an aspiration catheter, balloon or stent, to be delivered over the pull wire while the pull wire is in an intracranial artery. Methods of using and making the devices are also described.

Claim (Index 18):
A method of treating a human having a vascular system, the human further having a proximal obstruction in a proximal blood vessel and a clot in a distal blood vessel, the method comprising the steps of:\n a) inserting a guide catheter into the human's vascular system, the guide catheter having an interior and a distal end; b) providing the system of  claim 1  wherein the distal body is located inside an interior of a microcatheter, the microcatheter having a distal end; c) advancing the distal end of the microcatheter distally in the guide catheter interior and beyond the distal end of the guide catheter; d) positioning the distal end of the microcatheter in the distal blood vessel; e) deploying the distal body from the distal end of the microcatheter; f) allowing the height and width of the distal body to increase; g) moving the distal end of the microcatheter proximally out of the human's body while keeping the distal body in the distal blood vessel and the guide catheter in the human's body; h) treating the proximal obstruction; i) moving the blood clot into the interior of the distal body; and j) moving the distal body out of the human's body.
