摘要:
An implantable lumen filter is described. The filter may include a body formed from an elongate member. The body may include loops encircling an axis extending along the length of the body. The body may be sized to be implanted into a body lumen. The body may be capable of transitioning from a collapsed state to a deployed state. The filter may include a first group of a plurality of members positioned around at least one loop of said body. At least a portion of the plurality of members may be oriented towards the axis. The plurality of members may be arranged to capture and/or lyse particulates of a selected size and/or to inhibit the particulates from passing through the body. Methods of making, deploying, and retrieving the same are described.
