1. A method for removal of thrombus from a peripheral blood vessel in a body of a patient, the method comprising:
- providing a thrombus extraction device comprising a scaffold member formed of a tubular fenestrated structure with an open proximal end having a perimeter and an open distal end, a capture member formed of a mesh structure which is fixedly attached to the proximal end of the scaffold member, and a pusher connected to a proximal end of the mesh structure;
advancing a catheter constraining the thrombus extraction device through the thrombus located in the peripheral vasculature of a patient'"'"'s body;
deploying the thrombus extraction device, wherein the deployed thrombus extraction device comprises an everted distal portion of the capture member, wherein deploying the thrombus extraction device comprises expanding the scaffold member and expanding the everted distal portion of the capture member, and wherein deploying the thrombus extraction device comprises advancing a portion of the capture member through the scaffold member to create the everted distal portion of the capture member;
retracting the thrombus extraction device to capture thrombus within the everted distal portion of the capture member; and
withdrawing the thrombus extraction device from the body of the patient.

Abstract
A system and method for managing an occlusion, such as a blood clot, within a lumen or passageway of a patient. More particularly, a system and method for rapidly restoring blood flow through an occlusion including a self-expanding, tubular member through which blood may flow when in an expanded state. The tubular member has a structure configured to engage the occlusive material, thereby allowing for extraction of at least a portion of the occlusive material. The system may further employ a material extraction member that is deployed distally of the tubular member.

14. A method for removal of thrombus from a peripheral blood vessel in a body of a patient, the method comprising:
-
providing a thrombus extraction device comprising a scaffold member formed of a tubular fenestrated structure with an open proximal end having a perimeter and an open distal end, a tapered capture member formed of a mesh structure which is attached at a proximal end of the tapered capture member to the distal end of the scaffold member so as to form a continuous structure, and a retraction member connected to a proximal end of the scaffold member; advancing a catheter constraining the thrombus extraction device through the thrombus located in the peripheral vasculature of a patient'"'"'s body; deploying the thrombus extraction device, wherein the deploying the thrombus extraction device comprises expanding the scaffold member, and wherein the deploying the thrombus extraction device comprises expanding the tapered capture member subsequent to expanding the scaffold member; retracting the thrombus extraction device through the thrombus; separating the thrombus from the peripheral blood vessel with the scaffold member; and capturing the thrombus within the tapered capture member. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
