Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An embolic protection device includes a first filter configured to be disposed in a first vessel and a second filter configured to be disposed in a second vessel. A first tether extends from a proximal end of the first filter and a first magnet is coupled to the first tether. A second tether extends from a proximal end of the second filter and a second magnet is coupled to the second tether. The device is configured such that when the first filter is disposed in the first vessel and the second filter is disposed in the second vessel, the first magnet and the second magnet are magnetically coupled to each other to couple the first tether to the second tether.
