    摘要: Devices, systems, and methods for performing thrombectomy procedures are disclosed herein. The devices can include an aspiration catheter which optionally has a beveled distal end. The aspiration catheter is advanced to a position adjacent a thrombus. A blocking element can be expanded near the distal end of the aspiration catheter to block fluid flow during the procedure. The devices can include a thrombus retrieval device supporting a braided assembly that grips and facilitates removal of the thrombus. The braided assembly is expandable to a range of expanded outer diameters by varying the level of tension in an activation wire attached thereto. An expander can be deployed beneath the braided assembly to exert an outward expansion force upon the braid, thereby increasing the grip between the braided assembly and the thrombus. The braided assembly contacts the thrombus and the retrieval device pulls it proximally toward the aspiration catheter.
