These systems, devices, and methods can (i) effectively cut and remove a variety of thrombus tissue from blood vessels, including soft, tough, and hard tissue; (ii) safely self-collect and remove tissue particles to avoid release of emboli; and, (iii) effectively treat a blood vessel with a reduced risk of suffering vessel injuries that can lead to increased stenosis.
