Key result
The MGuard stent, a cobalt chromium bare metal stent with a porous net, is designed to prevent thrombus fragmentation and distal embolization during stent implantation in various clinical scenarios.
Why the study?
Does the MGuard stent improve safety and efficacy by preventing distal embolization in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary revascularization?
Does the MGuard stent improve safety and efficacy by preventing distal embolization in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary revascularization?
The MGuard stent, featuring a porous net, may be a useful tool to prevent distal embolization during percutaneous interventions in high-risk scenarios like high thrombus burden or saphenous vein grafts.

Evidence supports MGuard to limit embolization in PCI; leaves open outcome benefit pending randomized trials.
Atheromatous and thrombotic embolization during percutaneous coronary revascularization is a feared complication that may cause impaired myocardial reperfusion even with a patent epicardial vessel. The MGuard stent is a cobalt chromium bare metal stent with a porous net attached to its outer surface that has been designed to prevent thrombus fragmentation and distal embolization during stent implantation. This review summarizes the available evidence supporting the use of the MGuard stent in different scenarios such as lesions with high thrombus burden, saphenous vein graft interventions, coronary perforations, or carotid lesions.
