Abstract
An emboli capturing system captures emboli in blood flowing through vasculature. The emboli capturing system includes a guidewire having a longitudinal axis and defining a lumen. An expandable member is coupled to a distal portion of the guidewire and has an interior which is in fluid communication with the lumen in the guidewire. An emboli capturing device is operably coupled to the expandable member and configured to deploy radially outwardly relative to the guidewire upon expansion of the expandable member.
