A novel guidewire‐integrated embolic protection filter device with a handy‐folding system: In vitro and in vivo performance assessment

We developed a novel guidewire‐integrated filter device with a handy‐folding system (IFD: Inoue filter device). In vitro and in vivo studies were conducted to evaluate the feasibilityof the IFD.
