<p>A removable vascular filter for blocking micro- and macro-emboli while allowing the continued perfusion of blood comprising a filter membrane, wherein the free end of the membrane sits tightly against the guidewire when the filter membrane is in a collapsed state and wherein the filter has a means for deploying the filter membrane in the interior of a lumen which is comprised of cables or spines operable with a moveable core or fibers inside the guidewire which transitions the filter membrane from the collapsed state to the deployed state. The filter membrane is comprised of a fine mesh material which has a pore size capable of blocking emboli while allowing continued blood flow. <IMAGE></p> |
