Distal embolization is a common occurrence with peripheral arterial interventions and is more frequent with the use of atherectomy devices. We report the first case of JetStream atherectomy (Boston Scientific, Maple Grove, MN) with the use of the novel WIRION embolic protection system filter. The procedure was performed successfully with no distal embolizations beyond the filter and with no complications in the delivery or retrieval of the filter. The pros and cons of the off label use of this filter with JetStream atherectomy are discussed.
远端栓塞是外周动脉介入治疗中常见的情况,在使用旋切装置时更为频繁。我们报告了首例使用新型WIRION栓子保护系统过滤器进行JetStream旋切术(波士顿科学公司,明尼苏达州枫树谷)的病例。手术成功完成,过滤器远端未发生栓塞,过滤器输送或回收过程中也未出现并发症。本文讨论了该过滤器在JetStream旋切术超说明书使用中的利弊。
