This invention is devices, and methods for diverting emboli away from the carotid arteries in the aorta. The devices are aortic diverters (10) that generally comprise a hollow tube (20) with a substantially cylindrical or conical wall (25), which is impermeable to emboli. The hollow tube has a proximal end (30), terminating in a substantially circular edge adapted to fill the lumen of the aorta, and a distal end (40). The proximal and distal ends are substantially open allowing blood to enter the proximal end, flow through the hollow tube, and exit the distal end. The hollow tube also has an anchoring mechanism (50) for securing the hollow tube to the lumen of the aorta. Additionally, snowshoe aortic diverters which are planar rather than cylindrical are also disclosed.

L'invention porte sur des dispositifs et procédés permettant de faire passer les emboles des carotides dans l'aorte. Ces déviateurs aortiques (10) comportent pour l'essentiel un tube creux (20) à paroi sensiblement cylindre ou conique (25) imperméable aux emboles. Le tube présente une extrémité distale (30) terminée par un bord sensiblement circulaire conçu pour remplir la lumière de l'aorte, ainsi qu'une extrémité distale (40). L'extrémité proximale et l'extrémité distale sont pratiquement ouvertes ce qui permet au sang d'entrer par l'extrémité proximale, de traverser le tube, et de ressortir par l'extrémité distale. Le tube comporte en outre un mécanisme (50) le maintenant dans la lumière de l'aorte. De plus les déviateurs aortiques en forme de raquette sont plats plutôt que cylindriques.
