Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Apparatus and methods for providing distal protection during a medical procedure comprising a vascular filter having a self-expanding, porous foam body that conformably seals against a vessel wall and capture emboli within one or more recesses. The filter is coupled to a distal region of an elongated member, such as a guide wire. Delivery systems for use with filters of the present invention and methods of using the apparatus of the present invention also are provided. Cette invention concerne un dispositif et des méthodes assurant une protection distale pendant une intervention médicale faisant appel à un filtre vasculaire dont le corps en mousse poreuse auto-expansible épouse de façon étanche la paroi du vaisseau et recueille des emboles dans un ou plusieurs renfoncements. Le filtre est couplé à la région distale d'un élément de forme allongée tel qu'un fil de guidage. Sont également décrits des systèmes d'administration qui s'utilisent avec les filtres susmentionnés ainsi que des méthodes d'utilisation du dispositif selon l'invention.
