Abstract
Apparatuses and methods for distinguishing a blood clot from a vessel wall. These methods and apparatuses may include an aspiration opening into a suction lumen, an aspiration opening sensor(s) positioned at a rim of the aspiration opening, and a controller that interprets signals from the aspiration opening sensor(s) to determine when the aspiration opening is contacting a clot material or a vessel when a force is applied.
