Abstract

Embolic protection devices and systems capture and/or deflect emboli from entering one or more arterial branches of the aorta. An embolic protection device may include an anchor section that is positionable within an arterial branch of the aorta and a shield section that is operatively coupled to the anchor section. The shield section is positionable relative to one or more ostia of the aortic branches and is held in that position by the anchor section.
