Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A catheterization system and method including a rapid exchange emboli capture guidewire system comprising a distal emboli protection device is disclosed. The protection device is delivered to an area of intere st via a delivery sheath including a longitudinal exit configured to permit the sheath to be peeled away from the guidewire to speed its removal. A capture sheath having a side-port is used to capture and retrieve the filter after a catheterization treatment procedure in a time saving manner. A torque steering device is used to steer the device and is adapted to clamp onto the guidewire while leaving sheaths free to prevent inadvertent steerin g of the sheaths. Using the sheaths of the present invention also allows systems to use shorter guidewires than prior art systems, further speeding the catheterization procedures being performed.
