Systems and methods are adapted for treating the carotid artery. The systems include interventional catheters and blood vessel access devices that are adapted for transcervical insertion into the carotid artery. Embodiments of the systems and methods can be used in combination with embolic protection systems including blood flow reversal mechanisms, arterial filters, and arterial occlusion devices.

Systems and methods for treating a carotid artery

Methods for determining the size, pathology, and volume of embolic debris captured in an embolic protection filtering device. The methods may include providing an embolic protection filtering device and scanning the filtering device with a computed tomography scanner. The methods may also include analyzing digital images produced during the scanning step.

A device can easily and releasably secure a medical wire such as a guidewire or a filter wire. In some instances, such a device can include a wire holding device that may be considered to be disposable. A wire holding device may include a base fixture, a clamp fixture, holding apparatus to hold the clamp fixture to the base fixture, releasing apparatus to release the clamp fixture from the base fixture, and selecting apparatus to select between the holding apparatus and the releasing apparatus.
