Abstract
A vascular filter for temporary or permanent implantation within a body vessel to filter particulates or thrombus in the blood stream, is capable of being converted some time after initial implantation into a tubular stent. In this configuration, the stent tends to hold the vessel open without any significant filtering effect. The convertible filter/stent may have a tubular metal mesh structure. Also, the device may form one or more filter lattices when in the filter configuration.
