Abstract
A thrombectomy device includes a coring member configured to disintegrate a thrombus in a vessel into fragments from a proximal side of the thrombus and a catch member configured to be anchored at a distal side of the thrombus to provide embolic protection. The coring member and the catch member are operable independently of each other. Methods of removing a thrombus from a vessel employ a rotating coring device to disintegrate the thrombus into fragments.
