Cerebral embolic protection devices

Cerebral embolic protection devices are specialized tools used during certain heart or artery procedures to prevent small clots or debris from traveling to the brain. These devices are typically placed in blood vessels leading to the brain, acting as filters to catch and remove debris before it can cause a stroke or neurological damage. They are particularly useful during valve replacements or aneurysm repairs to enhance patient safety. Overall, these devices help reduce the risk of stroke associated with certain cardiovascular interventions by maintaining the brain’s blood flow free of harmful particles.
