Embolic Protection

This article was originally published in Start Up

Executive Summary

Embolic Protection Inc. has developed a guidewire-based filtering device for retrieving and removing embolic debris released into the bloodstream during angioplasty and stenting. These small particles can lodge in blood vessels downstream, blocking blood flow and increasing the risk of heart attack and stroke. EPI has a low-profile, "one size fits all" device, which the company believes is much more effective at both removing and retaining embolic particles than other filtering devices currently under development.
