The use of a Filter Wire distal protection device during PCI in saphenous vein grafts may reduce the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events.
Supports Filter Wire use in saphenous vein graft PCI; confirms MACE reduction from this RCT.
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) carries a substantial risk of no-reflow and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). Distal embolisation is a key contributory factor to poor outcome. A recent randomised controlled trial demonstrated a 42% reduction in MACE with the use of a …
