Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a device that prevents the formation of blood clots during peripheral vascular interventions, which can occur during procedures to treat peripheral artery disease. The device is designed to protect against the risk of embolization, which can lead to serious complications such as critical limb ischemia and amputation. The device can be easily deployed and can be used in a variety of interventional procedures. The technical effect of the patent is to provide a safer and effective method for protecting against embolization during peripheral vascular interventions.

Problems solved by technology

However, such interventions frequently involve first traversing a stenosis with a wire, catheter, or treatment device, which poses a risk of embolizing debris even prior to the intervention

Abstract

Disclosed herein are embolism protection devices that may be deployed in the peripheral arterial system for the collection of loosened or floating debris, such as embolic material dislodged during or thrombi formed as a result of a peripheral intervention, such as an angioplasty, stenting, or atherectomy. The disclosed embolism protection devices are designed to be inserted distal to lesion in a lower limb artery via one of the arteries of the foot, such as the dorsalis pedis, posterior tibialis, or peroneal (fibular) artery, and they include a compliant mesh portion supported by a compliant wire support member, and the compliant mesh portion extends to form or couples to a solid catheter portion that extends out of the body during use, and that may be coupled to a stopcock or syringe for removal of debris.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]The application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14 / 716,706, filed May 19, 2015, entitled “PEDAL THROMBOEMBOLIC PROTECTION DEVICE,” the entire disclosure of which is incorporated by reference.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]Embodiments relate to a thromboembolic protection device that prevents the free flow of embolism-creating particles that are created during peripheral vascular interventions.BACKGROUND[0003]Peripheral artery disease (PAD) includes stenosis and occlusion of upper- or lower-extremity arteries due to atherosclerotic or thromboembolic disease. PAD represents a spectrum of disease severity, encompassing both asymptomatic and symptomatic disease. In PAD, as blood vessels narrow, arterial flow into the extremities worsens, and symptoms may manifest either as classic intermittent claudication (IC) or as atypical claudication or leg discomfort. As the disease progresses, patients may develop more severe claudication, ...
