VASCULAR FILTER SYSTEM

摘要

A removable vascular filter system for capture and retrieval of emboli while allowing continuous perfusion of blood, comprising a porous filter membrane and a filter membrane support structure. This system is useful for any percutaneous angioplasty, stenting, thrombolysis or tissue ablation procedure. The system may minimize the incidence of stroke, myocardial infarction or other clinical complications that may be associated with these procedures.
