Combined use of retrograde myocardial and distal coronary protection for last vessel intervention in an aortocoronary vein graft.
Feasibility, safety, and clinical efficacy of the combined application of the PercuSurge system and the Myoprotect SSR device was demonstrated in a patient with high-risk anatomy undergoing saphenous vein graft intervention. This combined approach of coronary and myocardial protection may be considered in high-risk aortocoronary vein graft interventions.
