The MGuard stent has been designed as a plaque trapping device to treat athero-thrombotic lesions in saphenous vein grafts and native coronary lesions. It was utilized in seven coronary bypass patients to treat eight vein grafts. The average graft age was 15 years. Procedural success was 100% without any intraprocedural, in-hospital, and/or 30-day major adverse cardiac events (e.g. death, myocardial infarction, and need for repeat graft revascularization). No patient experienced distal embolization and/or procedure-related CK enzymatic rise. This strategy seems to be a promising approach in percutaneous vascular management of vein graft lesions.
