Emboshield® NAV6™ Rapid Exchange (RX) Embolic Protection System for use with Xact® Rapid Exchange Carotid Stent System or RX Accunet™ Embolic Protection System for use with RX Acculink® Carotid Stent System.
Action
These devices are used for the treatment of carotid artery stenosis in patients who are at high risk for adverse events from carotid endarterectomy (surgery to remove plaque from the carotid artery) and have a stenosis of >50% with neurological symptoms or stenosis of >80% without neurological symptoms. The embolic protection devices are designed to reduce distal embolization (particles of plaque that can break away) while maintaining blood flow during angioplasty and stent procedures. The stents are permanently implantable devices, intended to re-establish and maintain vessel patency.
