1. A method of treating a thrombus in a vessel with self-expanding bulbs, the method comprising: advancing a microwire in the vessel and through a guide catheter, wherein advancing the microwire includes crossing the thrombus with a distal end of the microwire;advancing a microcatheter in the vessel
1. A method of treating a thrombus in a vessel with self-expanding bulbs, the method comprising: advancing a microwire in the vessel and through a guide catheter, wherein advancing the microwire includes crossing the thrombus with a distal end of the microwire;advancing a microcatheter in the vessel and over the microwire, wherein advancing the microcatheter includes crossing the thrombus with a distal end of the microcatheter;after advancing the microcatheter, removing the microwire from the vessel;after removing the microwire, inserting a thrombectomy device in a radially compressed state into the microcatheter, the thrombectomy device including: a distal portion including a plurality of wires woven to form a textile fabric, the distal portion comprising five to twenty said self-expanding bulbs and necks between and radially inward of the self-expanding bulbs; anda proximal portion bonded to the distal portion, the proximal portion including a hypotube including a plurality of longitudinally-spaced kerfs including a plurality of interspersed cut patterns, wherein a pitch of the plurality of longitudinally-spaced kerfs varies longitudinally along the hypotube;after inserting the thrombectomy device into the microcatheter, advancing the thrombectomy device in the vessel and through the microcatheter proximate to the distal end of the microcatheter, wherein advancing the thrombectomy device includes crossing the thrombus;after advancing the thrombectomy device, maintaining a location of the proximal portion of the thrombectomy device while proximally retracting the microcatheter, wherein upon being unsheathed from the microcatheter at least some of the self-expanding bulbs of the elongate support structure of the thrombectomy device self-expand from a radially compressed state to a radially expanded state, wherein retracting the microcatheter is at least until the distal end of the microcatheter is proximal to the thrombus;after retracting the microcatheter, torsionally rasping the thrombectomy device including removing portions of the thrombus attached to an endothelium wall, entrapping the thrombus in the radially expanded distal portion of the thrombectomy device, and collecting emboli in the radially expanded distal portion of the thrombectomy device; andafter torsionally rasping the thrombectomy device, retracting at a similar rate the microcatheter and the proximal portion of the thrombectomy device. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the vessel comprises a blood vessel in a brain or a blood vessel in a leg. 3. A method of treating a thrombus in a vessel with self-expanding bulbs, the method comprising: expanding from a radially compressed state to a radially expanded state a plurality of said self-expanding bulbs of a distal portion of a thrombectomy device, wherein retracting a microcatheter surrounding the plurality of self-expanding bulbs in the radially compressed state causes expansion of the plurality of said self-expanding bulbs to the radially expanded state;entrapping the thrombus in at least some of the plurality of self-expanding bulbs in the radially expanded state; andretracting the thrombectomy device from the vessel. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein the distal portion of the thrombectomy device comprises at least two of the plurality of bulbs having different outer diameters in the radially expanded state. 5. The method of claim 3, wherein the distal portion of the thrombectomy device is tapered. 6. The method of claim 3, wherein the distal portion of the thrombectomy device comprises at least two of the plurality of self-expanding bulbs having different shapes in the radially expanded state. 7. The method of claim 3, wherein the distal portion of the thrombectomy device comprises at least two of the plurality of self-expanding bulbs separated by a neck. 8. The method of claim 3, wherein the thrombectomy device comprises a proximal portion coupled to the distal portion, the proximal portion including a hypotube including a plurality of longitudinally spaced kerfs. 9. The method of claim 8, wherein the plurality of longitudinally spaced kerfs includes a plurality of interspersed cut patterns. 10. The method of claim 8, wherein a pitch of the plurality of longitudinally spaced kerfs varies longitudinally along the hypotube. 11. The method of claim 8, wherein at least some of the plurality of longitudinally spaced kerfs includes rounded edges. 12. The method of claim 3, wherein the distal portion comprises five to twenty said self-expanding bulbs. 13. The method of claim 6, wherein retracting the microcatheter is at least until a distal end of the microcatheter is proximal to the thrombus. 14. The method of claim 6, wherein retracting the thrombectomy device from the vessel comprises retracting the microcatheter at a similar rate. 15. The method of claim 3, wherein entrapping the thrombus includes torsionally rasping the thrombectomy device. 16. The method of claim 3, wherein the vessel comprises a blood vessel in a brain or a blood vessel in a leg. 17. A method of treating a thrombus in a vessel with self-expanding bulbs, the method comprising: expanding from a radially compressed state to a radially expanded state a plurality of said self-expanding bulbs of a distal portion of a thrombectomy device, wherein retracting a microcatheter surrounding the plurality of self-expanding bulbs in the radially compressed state causes expansion of the plurality of said self-expanding bulbs to the radially expanded state; andtorsionally rasping the distal portion of the thrombectomy device, wherein torsionally rasping effects at least one of: removing portions of the thrombus attached to an endothelium wall of the vessel, entrapping the thrombus in the distal portion of the thrombectomy device, and collecting emboli in the distal portion of the thrombectomy device. 18. The method of claim 17, wherein torsionally rasping the distal portion of the thrombectomy device comprises rotating a proximal portion of the thrombectomy device coupled to the distal portion of the thrombectomy device. 19. The method of claim 17, wherein the proximal portion includes a hypotube including a plurality of longitudinally-spaced kerfs. 20. The method of claim 17, wherein the vessel comprises a blood vessel in a brain or a blood vessel in a leg.
