Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	In some examples, a thrombus removal device includes an elongated support member and an expandable element configured to segment the thrombus into smaller pieces as the thrombus moves into a basket defined by the expandable element. The expandable element is configured to expand radially outward from a delivery configuration to a deployed configuration. In the deployed configuration, the expandable element defines a proximal mouth configured to receive a thrombus and a distal basket configured to receive at least part of the thrombus after it has moved through the proximal mouth. A proximal portion of the expandable element defines a plurality of arms configured to segment the thrombus into smaller pieces.
