Abstract: A system to deliver a prosthesis for repair of a transected body vessel is described herein. The system can have a prosthesis and a plurality of distinct strands. A releasable loop can be formed at a distal end of each strand and positioned to retain one of a plurality of portions of the prosthesis in a compressed configuration. Each portion of the prosthesis can be independently movable between the compressed configuration and an expanded configuration. Retraction of the proximal end or severing the loop of any one of the strands can cause the corresponding loop to release to allow the corresponding portion of the prosthesis to expand from the compressed configuration to the expanded configuration. The prosthesis can couple two vessel portions of the transected vessel together to allow for blood perfusion and maintain hemostasis.

Abstract: An embolic protection device for capturing emboli during treatment of a lesion in a blood vessel is presented. This embolic protection device generally comprises a core wire, a plurality of attachment cables and filter struts, and a filter member being configured to move between an expanded state for engagement with the blood vessel and a collapsed state for filter retrieval and delivery. The filter member is circumferentially attached to the attachment cables and filter struts and extends freely from its proximal end to a closed distal end. The core wire is rotated in a first direction to wrap the attachment cables, filter struts, and filter member around the core wire in the collapsed state and is rotated in a second or opposite direction to unwrap the attachment cables, filter struts, and filter member in the expanded state.
