  • DISTAL PROTECTION DEVICE WITH LOCAL DRUG INFUSION BY PHYSICIAN TO MAINTAIN PATENCY
    Publication number: 20090012468
    Abstract: The present invention provides for a local drug delivery mechanism for use with a protection device. An infusing device is used to charge the drug into the catheter lumen toward a distal portion of the lumen having a plurality of drug delivery exit ports. The drug exits the ports into the patient's vascular system and is able to flow toward a filter maintaining the patency of the filter.

  • Distal protection device with electrospun polymer fiber matrix
    Publication number: 20020128680
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a protection device for use in a lumen of a patient's body. The protection device has a fiber matrix electrospun about an expandable and collapsible wire frame. In the collapsed configuration the protection device may be advanced within a lumen. In the expanded configuration, the protection device is able to engage the walls of the lumen wherein, the fiber matrix forms a plurality of pores for preventing the passage of particulate material and allow fluid to flow through.
