Zusammenfassung:An intraluminal device may be provided including an elongated structure formed of a plurality of wires. The intraluminal device may include at least one expandable mesh segment configured to engage an obstruction in a body lumen, wherein the plurality of wires may be arranged into sets of looped wires that overlap to form the expandable mesh segment. The intraluminal device may also include at least one clot anchoring segment that may be configured to trap the obstruction to prevent downstream movement of the obstruction relative to the intraluminal device.
