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, deep vein thrombosis, cerebrovascular embolism, and other vascular occlusions. The capture system can include a tubular body comprising a first end, a second end, and an axial length therebetween, the first end having an opening and a capture guide. The capture system can include one or more tensioners coupled to the capture guide. The tubular body has a first configuration in which the first end and the capture guide are expanded while the second end and a majority of the tubular body remains compressed. The tubular body is transformable to a second configuration by application of tension by the tensioners. The catheter can remove a large volume of clot.
