  • Emboli filtration system and methods of use
    Patent number: 8177807
    Abstract: An emboli filtration apparatus is provided including a guide wire having a filter element captured thereon, so that the guide wire is free to rotate and translate while the filter element remains stationary. The apparatus allows for movement and rotation of the guide wire as devices are advanced over it to treat occlusive disease, substantially without dislodging the filter element. In a preferred embodiment, the guide wire includes a proximal stop configured to reposition the filter element during a medical procedure without having to remove or insert additional interventional devices.
