The vessel diameter at the filter basket placement site should be between 3.0 mm and 6.0 mm. The SpiderFX embolic protection device is indicated for use as a guidewire and embolic protection system to contain and remove embolic material (thrombus/debris) while performing angioplasty and stenting procedures in carotid arteries.
At least one LCD allows use of code 93799 for use of an EPD for stent placement in a coronary arterial saphenous vein bypass graft. I have not seen any other literature to suggest using any additional code.
SpiderFX device has broad indication for use in the carotid arteries, coronary saphenous vein bypass grafts, and lower extremities. SpiderFX device has a unique braided nitinol filter that conforms to the vessel wall and maintains full-wall apposition during the intervention.
Embolic protection devices (EPDs) prevent or reduce plaque debris from reaching the distal bed and thereby have the potential to reduce adverse clinical events. They are com- monly used in saphenous vein graft (SVG) interventions and during carotid artery stenting procedures.
The use of embolic protection devices (EPD) during percutaneous cardiac procedures has helped reduce the number of complications due to debris being released into the bloodstream and causing blockages in smaller vessels. The devices are designed to capture and remove debris that may be dislodged during procedures.
The Sentinel® Cerebral Protection System is indicated for use as a cerebral protection device to capture and remove embolic material while performing transcatheter aortic valve procedures in order to reduce ischemic injury to the brain peri-procedurally.

Cerebral protection devices (CPD) were designed to reduce the risk of CVE during TAVR. Our objective was to describe the etiology, incidence, risk factors and impact of CVE after TAVR and summarizes current evidence of CPD in this setting.
The SENTINEL System utilizes a filter delivered to the brachiocephalic artery (Proximal Filter), and a second filter delivered to the left common carotid artery (Distal Filter). At the completion of the procedure, the filters and debris are recaptured into the catheter and removed from the patient.

April 15, 2021. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a minimally invasive procedure used to insert a new aortic valve in patients with aortic stenosis. While risk is low, stroke remains an important risk for this procedure. Dr.
Embolization is a minimally invasive treatment, which is usually used to treat benign (non-cancerous) masses in the kidney. To embolize means to block an artery or vein. During an embolization procedure, small particles are injected through a catheter into a mass.
(EM-boh-lih-ZAY-shun) A procedure that uses particles, such as tiny gelatin sponges or beads, to block a blood vessel. Embolization may be used to stop bleeding or to block the flow of blood to a tumor or abnormal area of tissue.
Patients treated with hepatic arterial embolization demonstrate longer progression-free survival and have 5-year survival rates of nearly 30%. The safety of repeat embolizations has also been proven in the setting of recurrent symptoms or progression of the disease.

The Emboshield NAV6™ Embolic Protection System, which includes BareWire™ Filter Delivery Wires, allows the guide wire to rotate and advance freely, independent of the Emboshield NAV6™ filter.*
Centered wire design prevents bias against the vessel wall for effective debris capture.*
