ABSTRACT
Distal embolization, such as plaque debris and thrombus during percutaneous coronary and carotid interventions, often lead to virtually untreatable small vessel occlusions and the no-reflow phenomenon, which may cause periprocedural end organ ischemia and infarction. This is clinically important as the one-year mortality is doubled in patients with a periprocedural myocardial infarction. To prevent a distal embolization a number of distal protection devices have been developed, with others still under development, such as a balloon occlusion device (PercuSurge GuardWire), numerous filter devices (FilterWire EX, AngioGuard, Mednova Neuroshield, AccuNet) and a catheter occlusion device (Parodi Anti-Emboli System). The usefulness and roles of distal protection devices, for cardiovascular intervention, are reviewed.
