An obstruction removal device is configured to be inserted through a catheter and at least partially extended into a vasculature from a distal end of the catheter. The obstruction removal device includes: a base member configured to engage one or more guide stops at the distal end of the catheter; a tubular member coupled to the base member and configured to apply a suction force from the catheter to an obstruction to remove the obstruction from the vasculature; and an expandable member surrounding the tubular member. The expandable member is configured to transition from a contracted state to an expanded state after the expandable member is at least partially extended into the vasculature from the distal end of the catheter. The expandable member is further configured to at least partially surround the obstruction as the obstruction is being removed from the vasculature.
