RECANNALIZATION DEVICE WITH INTEGRATED DISTAL EMBOLI PROTECTION

摘要

The system is used for treatment of a stenosis of a vessel of the human body as follows: 1. the system is advanced through the body over the guidewire until the stent as marked by the markers is positioned at the site of a stenosis in a vessel such as a carotid artery. 2. the sheath is then retracted to first allow expansion of the distal protection subsystem and then the self-expanding stent. 3. the sheath is advanced until the distal end of the sheath collapses the spring spokes thus retracting the distal protection system. 4. the system is removed from the body.
