Abstract
A combined multi-lumen central access catheter and an embolic filter including ports proximal and distal the filter for fluid infusion and/or pressure sensing and infusion ports in the catheter to permit infusion of bioactive agents, flushing agents and/or contrast agents. The embolic filter may be removably coupled to the multi-lumen catheter for temporary placement and retrieval under recommended indications.

20. A method capturing thrombus within a blood vessel, comprising the steps of:
-
a. introducing a multi-lumen catheter having a filter member coupled thereto; b. deploying the multi-lumen catheter within a blood vessel; c. infusing a fluid through at least one lumen in the multi-lumen catheter in communication with at least one infusion port passing through the multi-lumen catheter and open to an inner spatial area bounded by the filter member. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
