ABSTRACT:
A delivery catheter1has a distal pod2for reception of an embolic protection filter3. The filter2is moved from a retracted delivery configuration to an extended deployed configuration by a push wire6which has an engagement hoop7at the distal end. Retraction of a handle9has the effect of retracting the pod3relative to the push wire6and the engagement hoop7and the filter2is effectively deployed by pushing it out of the pod3.
