Abstract
An intravascular, distal protection device including a braided mesh that may be selectively transformed between a collapsed configuration, a filter configuration and an occlusive configuration by mechanical or thermal operation. Alternatively, the distal protection device may include a non-inflatable occlusion valve located within the mesh and actuated by the same mechanical operation that transforms the braided mesh.
