摘要:
An embolic filter having a filter support frame with a collapsed and an expanded configuration and a collapsible filter body supported by the support frame. The filter body has inlet and outlet ends. The filter body includes a proximal section having a longitudinally extending cylindrical shape and a distal section having a longitudinally extending conical shape that tapers in the distal direction. The support frame includes a plurality of alternating first segments such that, when the support frame is in the expanded configuration, the alternating first segments circumferentially extend in a first zigzag path to support the proximal, cylindrically shaped section of the filter body. The support frame includes a plurality of alternating second segments such that, when the support frame is in the expanded configuration, the alternating second segments circumferentially extend in a second zigzag path to support the proximal, cylindrically shaped section of the filter body.
