1. A system for enabling the delivery of an embolic protection device to a position in a patient'"'"'s vasculature distal to an interventional procedure site, for deployment of the embolic protection device, wherein the delivery system is adapted to maintain a clinically acceptable profile and flexibility during the delivery and removal thereof through the patient'"'"'s vasculature, comprising:

  • a guide wire, including a distal end, adapted to be positioned within the blood vessel and to extend to a position distal to the interventional procedure site, and to include an embolic protection device mounted on the distal end thereof; and

    a delivery sheath, including a distal end, wherein the delivery sheath has a lumen therein extending in the delivery sheath to the distal end thereof, and wherein the guide wire and the embolic protection device are adapted to extend in and through the lumen, the delivery sheath and the guide wire are adapted to enable the embolic protection device to be delivered and deployed distal to the interventional procedure site, and the delivery sheath comprises dimensions and materials adapted to provide a low profile, flexibility for enabling tracking thereof through the patient'"'"'s vasculature, and rigidity for enabling pushing thereof through the patient'"'"'s vasculature, so as to maintain a clinically acceptable profile and flexibility during the delivery and removal thereof through the patient'"'"'s vasculature.
