摘要：
The claimed biocompatible device is designed to remove vessel occlusions such as a thrombus, blood clot, or embolus. The claimed devices maybe used to treat occlusions in the brain, in the vasculature, and in tissues and organs.The device is in a form of a wire or wire-like structure which can capture the occlusion with minimal contact force with the vessel wall by an application of electricity, or electrical, chemical, or microwave generated heat to enable capture of the occlusion by the device. The device, compared to conventional mechanical thrombectomy devices, captures the occlusion and reduces occlusion fragmentation without large radial force and vessel wall friction that can damage the vessel wall.
