A filter device is adapted to function as a guidewire, an exchange guidewire, and provide embolic protection during a procedure. The filter device (10) includes a filter assembly (42) that is either integral with or coupled to a guide member (12). The filter assembly (42) includes a plurality of struts (52) that expand outwardly to deploy a filter (50) that collects or captures material flowing along the blood vessel within which the filter device (10) is deployed. The plurality of struts (52) are constrained by a restraining member or mechanism (24) that prevents the plurality of struts from expanding or extending outwardly to deploy the filter. Cooperating with the restraining member or mechanism is an actuating assembly (20) that is adapted to release the restraining member (24) or mechanism and enable the filter to be deployed from the guide member (12). A capture catheter (90) that cooperates with the filter device (10) and substantially surrounds the filter (50) during removal of the filter device (10).

La présente invention se rapporte à un dispositif de filtrage conçu pour être utilisé comme un fil de guidage ou un fil de guidage d'échange et pour fournir une protection contre les emboles au cours d'une procédure chirurgicale. Ce dispositif de filtrage comprend un ensemble filtre qui est soit intégré soit couplé à l'élément de guidage. L'ensemble filtre comprend une pluralité d'entretoises qui s'étendent vers l'extérieur de manière à déployer un filtre qui recueille ou capture la matière s'écoulant le long du vaisseau sanguin à l'intérieur duquel le dispositif de filtrage est déployé. Lesdites entretoises sont contraintes par un élément ou un mécanisme de contrainte qui empêche ces entretoises de se déployer ou de s'étendre vers l'extérieur pour déployer le filtre. Un ensemble d'actionnement, qui coopère avec l'élément ou le mécanisme de contrainte, est conçu pour libérer cet élément ou ce mécanisme de contrainte et permettre le déploiement du filtre à partir de l'élément de guidage. Un cathéter de capture coopère avec le dispositif de filtrage et entoure sensiblement le filtre lors du retrait du dispositif de filtrage.
