    Abstract: Apparatus and methods are described for capturing emboli during a medical procedure that is performed at a first location within a subjects body. An intravascular device (24) is configured to perform the medical procedure at the first location. An inner sheath (32) facilitates insertion of the intravascular device (24) into the subjects body, by the intravascular device being inserted via a lumen (31) of the inner sheath (32). A filter (34) extending from a distal-most portion (42) of the inner sheath (32) has a non-radially-constrained configuration in which the filter (34) is configured to prevent at least some emboli that are generated by the medical procedure from passing through the filter (34). Other applications are also described.
