## Abstract Embolization of atheroβthrombotic material during primary percutaneous coronary intervention is a common cause of periprocedural complication. Methods developed to reduce embolization include thrombus aspiration, and distal protection. We report five cases of primary percutaneous interv
We describe four successful cases demonstrating the use of a novel filter-guidewire (FilterWire EX) during complex percutaneous coronary interventions in saphenous vein grafts (n = 3) and native coronary artery (n = 1) for prevention of distal embolization and consequently myonecrosis.
## Abstract Objectives: We detected embolic particles liberated from plaque during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) as highβintensity transient signals (HITS) with a Doppler guidewire and studied their impact on coronary flow dynamics and the myocardium in patients with stable angina pector
