Devices to prevent distal atheroembolization are an important addition to the armamentarium of an interventional cardiologist. We report the use of PercuSurge, a distal balloon occlusion device, in two patients with recent myocardial infarction of differing etiologies. The first case is a patient with an old degenerated vein graft with thrombotic occlusion of greater than 48-hr duration and the second case is a patient with an embolic myocardial infarction in a native coronary artery. In both cases, significant thromboembolic debris was aspirated with technical success and no complications. These cases illustrate use of the PercuSurge device in patients after a recent myocardial infarction for preserving distal myocardial perfusion and microvascular integrity.
