A first support member having a first end and a second end; and a first support member mounted on the first end of the first support member or the second end of the first support member and An intraluminal filter including a second support member that forms a crossover to the one support member. The intraluminal filter includes a material capture structure extending between the first and second support members, the crossover and the first end or the second end of the first support member; And at least one tissue anchor on the support member or the second support member. A method of placing a filter within a lumen includes advancing a sheath holding the filter through the lumen. Next, a portion of the filter is deployed from the sheath into the lumen to engage the lumen wall while maintaining substantially all of the filter material capture structure within the sheath. Next, the filter material capture structure is deployed across the lumen. [Selection] Figure 88 |
