Abstract

A system for enabling the insertion and removal of an embolic protection device, for capturing and retaining embolic debris which can be created during the performance of a therapeutic interventional procedure in a stenosed or occluded region of a blood vessel. The system, in an embodiment thereof, is capable of enabling at least one operator to control the delivery and removal of an embolic protection device to a position in a patient's vasculature distal to an interventional procedure site, to enable the exchange of the delivery and recovery system. The system, in another embodiment thereof, includes a delivery system and a recovery system which are capable of enabling the delivery and recovery of an embolic protection device so as to maintain a clinically acceptable profile and flexibility through the patient's vasculature.

CROSS-REFERENCES TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] This is a divisional application of co-pending application Ser. No. 09 / 872,692, filed Jun. 1, 2001, whose contents are hereby incorporated by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The present invention relates generally to improvements in embolic protection systems and methods. In particular, it relates to an improved system and method for enabling at least one operator to effectively deliver an embolic protection device to a position in a patient's vasculature distal to an interventional procedure site. The deployment of the embolic protection device is enabled so as to filter the blood in a blood vessel, to capture embolic material that may be created and released into the bloodstream during the performance of the interventional procedure in a stenosed or occluded region of a blood vessel. The invention also enables the operator to efficiently remove the embolic protection device from the interventional procedure site with the...
