摘要：
An endoluminal filter including a first support member and a second support member attached to the first support member to form a crossover. A material capture structure extends between the first and second support members, the crossover and the first end or the second end of the first support member. The filter includes at least one tissue anchor on the first support member and the second support member. There is a method of positioning a filter within a lumen including advancing a sheath containing a filter through the lumen. Next, deploying a retrieval feature against the lumen wall while maintaining substantially all of a material capture structure of the filter within the sheath. Next, deploying the material capture structure of the filter from the sheath to a position across the lumen along with engaging the lumen wall with fixation elements positioned along the filter.
