โœฆ Synopsis

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 TEC device; another failed because of excessive tortuosity in the proximal graft. This experience helps define the potential and limitations of TEC.

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
