title: Fate of unprotected side branches as related to embolic complications during stent implantation for acute coronary syndromes using a distal protection procedure.
abstract: Coronary lesion stenting with aspiration and distal balloon occlusion is more often associated with embolic occlusion of interposed side branches when the branch arises at an angle of </=45 degrees and the artery containing the lesion is large. However, this event is infrequent, often resolving during the procedure and uniformly resolving by 6 months.
