Abstract
Described here are methods of removing a clot material from within a body including advancing a catheter through a vessel of the body, sensing (using one or more sensors on a distal end region of the catheter) a preexisting clot material within an extraction zone external and adjacent to a clot removal orifice on the distal end region of the catheter and drawing the clot material into the catheter through the clot removal orifice. The one or more sensors may comprise a pair of electrodes in contact with the clot removal orifice that are configured as an impedance sensor. The extraction zone may extend externally 0-5 cm from a clot removal orifice on the distal end region of the catheter.
