A blood filter device and delivery system, comprising a tubular member with a filter. The tubular member includes a distal end adapted to enter an artery, and a port for receiving the filter. The filter includes a shaft having a handle on one end and an expandable filter device on the other end. The expandable filter device includes filter mesh and an expansion frame capable of assuming enlarged and contracted conditions. The shaft is removably received by the tubular member. The tubular member may be introduced into a blood vessel, and the expandable filter device may be deployed through the tubular member into the vessel. The expansion frame may be expanded to the enlarged condition to capture embolic material in the mesh, may be collapsed to the contracted condition, and may be removed from the vessel. The filter may be removed from the tubular member, and a new filter may then be received therein. Also described is a cannula having a proximal end, a distal end, and a lumen therebetween, the cannula further comprising a port disposed on an outer surface of the cannula for receiving a medical instrument, optionally a filter, for passage into the aorta or other suitable vessel.
