Abstract: A downhole probe can be utilized in a wellbore to accurately determine a relative depth between measurement locations. The downhole probe includes a measurement unit for taking downhole measurements and a detachable anchor that can grip a wellbore wall to maintain a fixed location.

Abstract: Methods and devices are provided for protecting the cerebrovascular circulation from embolic debris released during an index procedure. An embolic protection filter is delivered in a reduced profile configuration via an access catheter, and positioned in the aorta spanning the ostia to the three great vessels leading to the cerebral circulation. An index procedure catheter is thereafter advanced through the same access catheter to conduct the index procedure. The index procedure may be a transcatheter aortic valve replacement. A pore distribution in the filter blocks passage of debris greater than a predetermined threshold, minimizes total cumulative volume of debris passing through the filter and minimizes blood pressure drop across the filter.
