Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Distal embolization is a common complication of percutaneous intervention in saphenous vein grafts. This may lead to the "no reflow" phenomenon and subsequent myocardial infarction. We describe a case in which we occluded the distal portion of a saphenous vein graft with a balloon to prevent distal embolization, performed percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty, and then successfully aspirated the particulate debris with a Dorros/Probing catheter. |
