A clot retrieval device ( 9501 ) for removing clot from a blood vessel comprises an inner elongate body ( 9503 ) and an outer elongate body ( 9504 ) at least partially overlying the inner elongate body ( 9503 ). The device also comprises an elongate member or shaft ( 9502 ) having a proximal end which extends exterior of a patient so that a user can retrieve the stent-basket device and captured clot by retracting the shaft ( 9502 ). The outer elongate body ( 9504 ) and the inner elongate body ( 9503 ) are connected to the distal end of the shaft ( 9502 ) and are expandable relative to the shaft ( 9502 ) from a collapsed delivery configuration to an expanded deployed configuration. The outer elongate body ( 9504 ) is expandable relative to the inner elongate body ( 9503 ) to a radial extent which is greater than the radial extent of the inner body ( 9503 ) in the deployed configuration. |
