The retrieval basket is transformable between the expansion state and the contraction state. The retrieval basket further includes a closable opening part 28 provided at the distal end thereof to receive the clot in the retrieval basket. The transition to the opening part, the expansion state and the contraction state is controlled by an operation wire 36 connected to the distal end of the retrieval basket. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
