Abstract:
We describe a case of acute coronary syndrome treated with percutaneous intervention using a distal protection system that was complicated by filter entrapment into the stent struts. We discuss the advantages and concerns of distal protection and suggest some technical aspects to take into account when dealing with filter protection systems.
