Zusammenfassung:Disclosed are systems for removing embolic material from an intravascular site. An elongate, flexible tubular body has a tubular side wall defining at least one axially extending lumen. An axial restraint is carried by an inner surface of the side wall and exposed to the lumen. A rotatable core wire is extendable through the lumen, and may include an obstruction engaging tip. The core wire has a limit with a distally facing bearing surface for rotatably engaging the restraint. The limit and the restraint are configured to permit rotation of the core wire but limit distal advance of the tip to a predetermined relationship with the distal end of the tubular body.
