A method for aspirating material from a patient includes providing an elongate tubular member having a lumen having a first diameter adjacent its distal end, providing an aspiration catheter including a tubular aspiration member having an aspiration lumen and configured to at least partially extend out of the lumen of the elongate tubular member, an elongate support member coupled to the tubular aspiration member, and at least one annular sealing member coupled to the tubular aspiration member and configured to seal against the first diameter, placing the distal end of the elongate tubular member into vasculature, inserting the aspiration catheter into the lumen of the elongate tubular member, extending the distal end of the tubular aspiration member out of the distal end of the elongate tubular member such that the at least one annular sealing member is aligned with the first diameter of the lumen of the elongate tubular member, and applying a vacuum to the lumen of the elongate tubular member at the such that material is aspirated through the tubular aspiration member and into the lumen of the elongate tubular member.
