The GuardWire distal protection device reduces the incidence of periprocedural complications during percutaneous stenting of diseased saphenous vein grafts. Its mechanism of action is based on the occlusion of the vessel distal to the lesion with an inflated compliant balloon before the intervention, and the aspiration of embolized material after stent implantation. Although no safety issues related to the compliant balloon have been reported in vein graft treatment, concerns related to the potential injury of the balloon on the vessel wall have been raised. We thus evaluated the angiographic outcome of the vein graft segment where the compliant balloon of the GuardWire distal protection device was inflated during percutaneous interventions of diseased vein grafts.
