Embolic ProtectionDevices in Saphenous Vein Graft Interventions: Is There Still a Role?
01/04/2012
Tarek A. Helmy, MD; Arumugam Narayanan, MD; Mouhamad Abdallah, MD
Saphenous vein grafts (SVG) are commonly used conduits for coronary bypass, with a graft failure rate of up to 45% per patient and 29% per graft on angiographic follow-up at 18 months.1 Atherosclerotic plaques in SVGs tend to be bulky,...
