title: A novel, low-profile filter-wire (Interceptor) embolic protection device during saphenous vein graft stenting.
abstract: A novel, low-profile filter embolic protection device was deployed in 26 patients who underwent stent deployment for saphenous vein graft stenoses in a multicenter trial. Major adverse cardiovascular events were observed in only 2 patients (7.7%) and angiographic flow grades were improved.
