A low-profile, embolic protection device for collecting particulate debris in a body lumen, wherein an embolic filter is utilized that is expandable and collapsible by push-pull action. A filter first end is axially secured to an elongate inner member and a filter second end is attached to a distal tip of an outer tubular member. The filter is delivered to a treatment site inverted within a distal portion of the outer tubular member. The elongate inner member is slidable within the outer shaft, such that relative longitudinal movement between the elongate inner member and outer shaft reconfigures the filter between its inverted and everted configurations, as well as its expanded and collapsed configurations.
