SpideRX血栓保护设备是由ev3公司(Plymouth, MN, USA)制造的，这是一种在颈动脉支架放置手术时候应用的小型滤器。这种设备放置于颈动脉中防止脑卒中或者其他神经系统事件得发生。该设备可以选择适合的导引钢丝穿过病变区域，预先装载的镍钛诺滤器能够提供全身的管壁并置，双末端导管可以用于输送和康复。这些滤器具有不同尺寸，在3-7毫米之间，以适合滤器网放置位点动脉不同直径。该设备已经获得了美国食品药品管理局的批准。

Carotid Filters Prevent Stroke During Stenting
 
A small filter placed in the carotid artery can help prevent strokes by collecting debris released during stent placements.

The SpideRX embolic protection device, manufactured by ev3 (Plymouth, MN, USA), is a small filter used in carotid artery stenting applications. The device is placed beyond a blockage in the carotid arteries to prevent a stroke or other neurologic event. The device features the ability to choose a preferred guidewire to cross the lesion, a pre-loaded nitinol filter that provides full-body wall apposition, and a dual-ended catheter for delivery and recovery. The filter comes in a variety of sizes, between 3-7 mm, to suit different diameters of the artery at the site of filter-basket placement. The device has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
