The optimal strategy to manage in-stent saphenous veln graft (SVG) restenosis has not been studied. We present two cases in which transluminal extraction atherectomy (TEC) was used successfully for the treatment of SVG stent restenosis. TEC atherectomy may provide an alternative to conventional ball

Lesions in distal coronary vasculature present unique problems for catheter-based interventions. We report two cases of attempted transluminal extraction catheter (TEC) atherectomy for very distal lesions in long circular saphenous vein grafts. One case succeeded with a simple modification of the TE
Extraction atherectomy utilizes suction aspiration as an attempt to limit distal emboli during atherectomy. We sought to test the hypothesis that extraction atherectomy produces less distal embolization than balloon angioplasty when treating saphenous vein grafts. Among 163 consecutive, nonrandomize
