The MGuard coronary stent: safety, efficacy, and clinical utility
نویسندگان
چکیده
Atheromatous and thrombotic embolization during percutaneous coronary revascularization is a feared complication that may cause impaired myocardial reperfusion even with a patent epicardial vessel. The MGuard stent is a cobalt chromium bare metal stent with a porous net attached to its outer surface that has been designed to prevent thrombus fragmentation and distal embolization during stent implantation. This review summarizes the available evidence supporting the use of the MGuard stent in different scenarios such as lesions with high thrombus burden, saphenous vein graft interventions, coronary perforations, or carotid lesions.

MGuardTM stent... We beg to differ. Commentary to the article "Long-term follow-up of mesh-covered stent implantation in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction".
BACKGROUND The MGuard stent (a bare-metal stent wrapped externally in a polymer mesh sleeve) was introduced to reduce the risk of distal embolisation and no-reflow phenomenon during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in thrombus containing lesions, including ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). However, data on the long-term performance of the MGuard stent is limited. AIM...

OBJECTIVES This study sought to evaluate the potential utility of a novel polyethylene terephthalate micronet mesh-covered stent (MGuard) in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). BACKGROUND Suboptimal myocardial reperfusion after PCI in STEMI is common and results in increased infarct size and mortality. The...

Conventional methods of stenting require predilatation, which potentially increase vessel wall injury and cost of the procedure. In this study, the safety and efficacy of direct AVE-S7 (Medtronic-USA) stent placement were evaluated in 100 patients. Quantitative coronary angiography was performed at the baseline and post-stent. Clinical follow-up was done up to 9 months. In 100 patients (76 male...

BACKGROUND The MGuard, a bare metal stent covered with a polymer mesh, was designed to reduce distal embolization during percutaneous coronary intervention in ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction. In the MGUARD for Acute ST Elevation Reperfusion trial, the primary end point of complete ST-segment resolution was significantly improved with the MGuard compared with control. We evaluated 1-y...
