摘要:
Endovascular intervention methods entail creating a temporary capillary block in the vasculature of at least a portion of a patients organ, such as a hemisphere of the patients brain, the capillary block essentially blocking blood flow through capillaries in the portion of the patients organ, and performing the endovascular intervention. Distal embolism protection devices include a blood pump and at least one of a centrifuge element, a dialysis element, a cooling element, and a filtration element. The blood pump is generally capable of drawing blood from a patients vein, circulating the blood through each of the elements so that a characteristic of a blood component may be manipulated therewith, and perfusing the modified blood into a patients artery. A capillary block is thereby created in the vasculature of at least a portion of a patients organ with manipulated blood components.
