1. A delivery catheter system comprising:
a catheter including an elongate catheter body having a distal tip and a capsule containing a deliverable prosthesis;
an integrated embolic filter, the embolic filter deployable prior to the delivery of a prosthesis in a patient's vasculature and retrievable after delivery of said prosthesis; and
a deflecting member connected to an internal surface of the catheter body and to a control member, wherein the control member is configured to manipulate the deflecting member so as to adjust the position of the distal tip within the vasculature of a patient, in use,
wherein the embolic filter is moveable from a collapsed state, in which the embolic filter is retained within the catheter body, to a deployed state in which the embolic filter extends from the catheter body and, in use, into contact with an inner wall of a patient's vasculature.
