Abstract
The invention relates to an assembly using a vascular filter accommodated in an implanting sleeve from which is can be partially expelled in the case of temporary filtration use by means of a maneuvring rod to which the filter is connected in separable manner, so that, in the case of definitive use, the filter is separated therefrom, then being expelled from the sleeve. The filter may have legs in the shape of a corolla and extensions, for retaining it in place in the vessel, which naturally define a cylinder. Use in the treatment of risk of embolism.
