Abstract: The invention concerns an embolic protection device for inserting into an aortic arch to prevent embolisms. The invention moreover concerns a handle for such an embolic protection device, as well as a system consisting of a handle and/or embolic protection device and/or a catheter. Through the invention, an embolic protection device for inserting into an aortic arch, comprising a filtering unit and a feeding unit, is provided, wherein the filtering unit comprises a frame and a filter mesh, and the filter mesh is placed on the frame, the filtering unit has a proximal area and a distal area, wherein the filtering unit is designed in such a way that it can, at least partially, be positioned in the aortic arch, and wherein, once the filtering unit is appropriately positioned, haptic and/or visual feedback is generated, which signals to the user the final position.

Abstract: Embolic protection device for insertion into an aortic arch, with a filter unit, a frame and a feed unit, wherein the filter unit is arranged at the frame and the frame provides a proximal area having a proximal shape, which is arranged in an inner area of the frame and is connected to the feed unit, wherein the proximal shape has a first part and a second part, wherein the second part is formed at one end of the first part.

Abstract: Medical device for embolic protection in an aortic arch, comprising a catheter having a shaft and a distal end portion of the shaft, an expandable embolic protection device having a filter membrane and a frame. The frame comprises a frame loop and an elongated frame shaft having a distal end portion connected to the frame loop in a connection point, in its expanded state the frame loop spans said filter membrane and bending means to bend the distal end portion of the catheter and/or the distal end portion of the frame shaft. The medical device comprises a protective state in which the distal end portion of the catheter is bent, the embolic protection device is expanded, the frame shaft extends in a longitudinal direction of the bent distal end portion and the expanded frame loop being completely positioned distally of the connection point.
