<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an embolic filter providing enhanced longitudinal compliance, improved sealing against a vessel wall, low profile delivery, and a short deployed length occupied by the frame and tethering elements. <P>SOLUTION: The embolic filter includes: a support wire having a longitudinal axis; and an embolic filter frame having multiple support struts mounted to the support wire at an attachment point. The frame has a constrained delivery state and a non-tensioned deployed state. The embolic filter has a distal end and a proximal end. The frame has a filter opening when it is in the non-tensioned deployed state. The filter opening defines a plane substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the support wire. The attachment point of strut is located distally from the plane surface of the filter opening. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT</p> |
