Abstract

Distal protection devices protect only a single distal vessel. We describe a novel technique to protect both branches following a thrombus‐containing bifurcation lesion. The combination of an occlusive balloon and an arterial filter system provides an attractive solution to the challenging environment of a lesion at high risk for distal embolization supplying more than a single major branch.

## Abstract Distal protection devices for the prevention of embolization during saphenous venous aorto‐coronary bypass graft intervention are currently considered standard of care. Branching or Y‐type saphenous vein grafts present a unique and challenging problem when a distal protection device is
