Abstract

There are anatomical limitations in the effective use of distal protection devices, related to the fact that a balloon or stent can only be deployed at a certain distance from the filter. We describe a way to limit the embolic load in a vein graft angioplasty, in a difficult for effective distal protection anatomic situation by doing full balloon inflations on a separate wire in parallel to the deployed FilterWire™; after removal of the Filter- Wire™, an appropriately sized stent was deployed at low pressure.
Keywords: embolic protection; vein graft angioplasty embolic protection; vein graft angioplasty
