DEVICE: Neuroguard IEP® System (00851616007644)

A sterile, non-drug-eluting, flexible tube designed for percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) to dilate a stenotic peripheral (i.e., non-cerebral, non-coronary) artery by controlled inflation of a distensible balloon(s) at its distal tip; it may also be intended for positioning and expansion of a stent/stent-graft. It is available as an over-the-wire (OTW) type with multiple lumens, or a rapid exchange (RX) type with a single lumen. Some types may include cutting/scoring elements (e.g., microsurgical blades, dual wire configurations) to score/modify the plaque. This is a single-use device.

An assembly of devices intended to provide cerebrovascular embolic protection during carotid artery angioplasty and stenting procedures. It is available in various configurations and typically includes a sheath/catheter(s), intravascular balloon(s), guidewire, and extracorporeal valves/filters. The assembly is introduced into an artery percutaneously and used to produce blockage of blood through balloon inflation, typically at the carotid bifurcation and internal carotid artery to prevent distal embolization by particulate debris/thrombus and allow removal of debris/thrombus by blood filtration or aspiration. This is a single-use device.

A non-bioabsorbable tubular device dedicated to implantation in a carotid artery to maintain arterial patency and improve luminal diameter in patients with atherosclerotic disease. It is made of metal [e.g., nickel-titanium alloy (Nitinol)] typically in a tubular mesh structure, and is typically delivered to the site of implantation by a dedicated instrument where it self-expands upon release. It is available in a variety of lengths and diameters and may be used in conjunction with an embolic protection device. Disposable devices associated with implantation may be included.
