  • Title: An endovascular filter to prevent embolization during aortic stenting.
    Author: George RK, Singh Y, Ram BL.
    Journal: J Vasc Surg; 2016 Feb; 63(2):548-51. PubMed ID: 26804223.
    Abstract:
    Endovascular procedures carry an intrinsic risk of distal embolization. A large embolus may occlude major vessels with serious consequences. Endovascular procedures in the thoracic aorta may expose the entire visceral and lower limb circulation to this risk. We describe a method of using an endovascular filter to trap large emboli during thoracic aortic stenting using the Wallstent and describe its use in a case of primary aortic mural thrombus.
