  • Title: Percutaneous coronary intervention in two occluded arms of a saphenous 'Y'-graft: the importance of protecting both of your arms.
    Author: Chan RS, Duong MH, Kaplan AV.
    Journal: Catheter Cardiovasc Interv; 2007 Sep; 70(3):374-8. PubMed ID: 17421014.
    Abstract:
    Percutaneous intervention in saphenous vein grafts (SVG) carries a higher risk of distal embolization than intervention in a native vessel, and use of a distal protection device has been shown to improve the outcomes in SVG interventions. We describe an intervention done in an unexpected 'Y' SVG which required dual distal protection with Filterwires placed in both limbs of the diseased graft and which was performed via a 6 Fr guide catheter.
