Publication number: 20070167975Abstract: An embolic protection device for use in a blood vessel when an interventional procedure is being performed in a stenosed or occluded region to capture any embolic material which may be created and released into the bloodstream during the procedure. The device includes a filtering assembly having a self-expanding strut assembly and a filter element attached thereto. In one embodiment, the filtering assembly is attached to the distal end of a guidewire and is deployed within the patient's vasculature as the guidewire is manipulated into the area of treatment. A restraining sheath placed over the filtering assembly in a coaxial arrangement maintains the filtering assembly in its collapsed position until it is ready to be deployed by the physician. Thereafter, the sheath can be retracted to expose the filtering assembly which will then self-expand within the patient's vasculature.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 10, 2007Publication date: July 19, 2007Inventors: William Boyle, David Burkett, Andy Denison, Benjamin Huter, Scott Huter, Arkady Kokish, Kent Stalker, Chicheng Wang, John Whitfield
