  • Title: Transient occlusion of an Angioguard protection system by massive embolization during angioplasty of a degenerated aortocoronary saphenous vein graft.
    Author: Kindel M, Spiller P.
    Journal: Catheter Cardiovasc Interv; 2002 Apr; 55(4):501-4. PubMed ID: 11948899.
    Abstract:
    Distal embolization is the most important complication of balloon dilatation of degenerated saphenous vein grafts. We describe a case of massive embolization associated with transient occlusion in which larger distal embolization and myocardial infarction were avoided despite transient but complete occlusion of a filter protection system (Angioguard).
