Overview
Incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events is significantly higher among patients with previous history of CABG undergoing PCI of a saphenous vein graft compared to those with native coronary artery PCI. PCI of an saphenous vein graft is associated with a higher rate of distal debris embolization during PCI. Embolic protection devices are a group of devices designed and used to prevent distal embolization.
2021 ACA Revascularization Guideline
| Class 2a Recommendation, Level of Evidence: B-R[1] |
| Usage of an embolic protection device, when technically feasible, is reasonable in order to decrease the risk of distal embolization in patients with previous CABG who are undergoing PCI of a saphenous vein graft. |
| Class 2a Recommendation, Level of Evidence: B-NR [1] |
| If feasible, PCI of the native coronary artery is preferred over the PCI of a severely diseased saphenous vein graft in patients with previous CABG. |
| Class 3 Recommendation: No Benefit, Level of Evidence: C-LD [1] |
| PCI of a saphenous vein graft should be avoided in patients with a chronic occlusion of a saphenous vein graft. |
- Incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events is significantly higher among patients with previous history of CABG undergoing PCI of a saphenous vein graft compared to those with native coronary artery PCI. This significant difference is caused by a higher risk of procedural complications, including the no-reflow phenomenon and periprocedural MI.[2][3][4][5]
- The risk of distal debris embolization during PCI is high in PCI of an saphenous vein graft Compared with PCI of native coronary arteries since atherosclerotic plaques in saphenous vein graft are more diffuse, with thinner, and more friable fibrous caps.[6]
Embolic Protection Devices
- Embolic protection devices are a group of devices designed and used to prevent distal embolization.
- Usage of these devices showed capability of significantly reducing the rate of major adverse cardiovascular events (such as cardiac death, stent thrombosis, and ischemia-driven target-vessel revascularization) in patients undergoing PCI of a saphenous vein graft.[7]
- A study that compared different embolic protection devices showed that the FilterWire EX device is not inferior to the GuardWire.[8]
