The present invention relates to an implantable cassette for holding filters. The cassette is provided with a revolving compartment having a plurality of segments. Each segment is for holding a filter for filtering blood. Also provided is attachment means for attaching the cassette to a blood flow passageway to thereby allow blood to flow through a first segment of the revolving compartment. An operation device for revolving the revolving compartment, to thereby move the first segment out of the blood flow passageway, is also provided.
