A multi-basket clot capturing device that includes a distal basket connectedto a wire. Thedistal basket may be positionable distal of the clot and operable to capture adistal portion of aclot. A proximal basket may be connected to a hypotube that is slidablyaxially connected to thewire. The proximal basket may be positionable proximal of the clot andoperable to capture aproximal portion of the clot. A cage can form between the proximal and distalbaskets aroundmultiple portions of the clot for capturing the clot. Sliding the wiredistally, or microcatheterproximally, relative to the clot causes the distal basket to move from acollapsed state to anexpanded state. The cage may be around at least two portions of the clot thatare opposed.
