A treatment of a medical difficulty associated with the formation or presence of a blood clot in a blood vessel, commonly known as “thrombectomy.” Said treatment may be achieved by introducing and positioning through a single lumen a device capable of macerating, irrigating and aspirating as well as supporting structures proximal to the distal end of said device. Said device is introduced via a blood vessel, and deployed at a treatment site. The macerator is then operated to dislocate thrombus, clot, or other occlusive materials at the target site, the irrigating element is then operated to continue to dislocate thrombus, clot, or other occlusive materials at the target site, and the aspirating element is used to collect and remove the disruptive materials from the target site.
