A shunt and method of use for maintaining distal blood flow during an arteriotomy procedure is disclosed. The shunt includes a first tubular member (10) having a proximal end adapted to receive blood from a first region of an artery. A distal end is adapted to release blood into a second region of the artery. The shunt includes a second tubular member (14) having a lumen which either merges and communicates at its distal end with a lumen of the first tubular member, or rides separate and parallel to it. The shunt is secured to the lumen of the artery. A blood filter device (41, 42) is deployed within the artery. The proximal opening of the shunt is inserted into the first region of the artery, and secured to the lumen of the artery. Endarterectomy is performed on the artery and embolic material dislodged during the procedure is captured by the filter.
