An implantable lumen filter () is described. The implantable lumen filter includes a body () having a proximal end (), a distal end (), and a generally tapered outer surface (). The outer surface is formed by a plurality of struts (). The plurality of struts forms a plurality of apertures (). The apertures are dimensioned to inhibit and/or to lyse particulates of a selected size from passing through the apertures. The body () is transitionable from a collapsed state toward a deployed state. The implantable lumen filter includes an engaging portion () having a proximal end () and a distal end (). The proximal end of the engaging portion is connected to a distal end of the body. The engaging portion has a generally annular shape and is configured to engage an inner surface of a body lumen.
