A discrete segmented balloon catheter for removal of an embolus. In an embodiment, the catheter comprises a catheter having a proximal and a distal end, a fluid inlet at the proximal end, and discrete expandable segments placed along the shaft of the catheter. In addition, the segments are expanded through dispersal of fluid that flows from the catheter's proximal inlet. It follows that the segments are contracted through withdrawal of fluid from the catheter's proximal inlet.
