Devices and methods for filtering blood. The devices (10) generally comprise a mesh (40) for filtering blood flowing within a blood vessel particularly within an artery such as the aorta, a structure adapted to open and close the mesh (40) within the blood vessel, and a means to actuate the structure. The methods generally include the following steps: introducing a mesh (40) into a blood vessel to entrap embolic material, adjusting the mesh (40) if necessary during the course of filtration, removing the mesh (40), and the entrapped foreign matter from the blood vessel. Additionally, visualization techniques are used to ensure effective filtration.
Dispositifs et procédés de filtrage de sang. Lesdits dispositifs (10) comprennent généralement une grille (40) destinée à filtrer du sang coulant à l'intérieur d'un vaisseau sanguin, en particulier dans une artère telle que l'aorte, une structure adaptée pour ouvrir et fermer la grille (40) à l'intérieur du vaisseau sanguin et un moyen permettant d'actionner la structure. Lesdits procédés consistent généralement à introduire une grille (40) dans un vaisseau sanguin pour piéger des matières emboliques, à ajuster si nécessaire la grille (40) au cours du filtrage, et à enlever du vaisseau sanguin la grille (40) et la matière étrangère piégée. En outre, des techniques de visualisation sont utilisées pour s'assurer que le filtrage est efficace.
