  • Title: Percutaneous treatment of a single saphenous vein graft with two different protection devices.
    Author: Bedogni F, Morici N, Brambilla N.
    Journal: J Invasive Cardiol; 2008 Jun; 20(6):E180-2. PubMed ID: 18523332.
    Abstract:
    Catheter-based intervention in saphenous vein aorto-coronary bypass is an established approach. Even if effective, this treatment can be associated with a high incidence of procedure-related complications, mainly because of distal embolization of atherosclerotic plaque. Both occlusion devices and filter-based protection devices have offered comparable results. In the case described below, two different lesions were treated in the same saphenous vein graft using a filter-based device for the proximal lesion and a proximal occlusion balloon for the distal one.
