The invention relates to a thrombectomy device with a substantially cylindrical stent structure (1) which has a multiplicity of meshes (3 4) and two connectors (5 5 ) that are arranged on different meshes (3) at the proximal end of the stent structure (1) and with a guide wire (2) which has a coupling element (11) to which the connectors (5 5 ) are coupled with a slit (7) which extends in a helical formation across the jacket surface (8) of the stent structure (1) and with a tensioning bow (9) which spans the slit (7) at the proximal end.
