Bifurcated artery filter system
First Claim
1. A method of providing embolic protection, comprising:
- providing a first occlusive device including an elongate shaft having a proximal end and a distal end, a lumen extending at least in part through the elongate shaft, and an occlusive member disposed proximate the distal end of the elongate shaft;
providing a second occlusive device including an elongate shaft having a proximal end and a distal end, a lumen extending at least in part through the elongate shaft, and a occlusive member disposed proximate the distal end of the elongate shaft, and the second occlusive member being disposed at least in part within the lumen of the elongate shaft of the first occlusive member;
advancing the first occlusive member distal a target site in a renal artery; and
advancing the second occlusive device to a branch vessel of the renal artery.

Abstract
An embolic protection system including a first occlusive device having an elongate shaft having a proximal end and distal end. A lumen extending in part through an elongate shaft. Occlusive member disposed proximate distal end of the elongate shaft. Shaft having transversely disposed opening. Second occlusive device including elongate shaft having a proximal end and a distal end. A lumen extending at least in part through the elongate shaft. An occlusive member disposed proximate the distal end of the elongate shaft of the second occlusive device. The second occlusive member being disposed proximate the distal end of the elongate shaft of the second occlusive device. The second occlusive member being disposed in part within the lumen of the first occlusive member.
