摘要:
Embolic protection devices for placement in an arterial system of a human and methods of using such devices. In one embodiment, the device includes a filter having a first filter section configured to be deployed along the ascending aorta and aortic arch, a tapered second filter section extending proximally from the first filter section, and a proximal portion extending proximally from the second filter section. The second filter section is configured to be deployed along the descending aorta, and the proximal portion extends to a position below a renal artery. The embolic protection device can be configured to continuously filter the arterial system blood between a distal end of the first filter section to a position within the arterial system downstream of the renal artery.
