Pseudo-no-Reflow Phenomenon in Carotid Artery Stenting using FilterWire EX: Successful Recovery by Aspiration Thrombectomy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Distal protection devices such as FilterWire EX have been widely used in carotid artery stenting, however, the large amount of atherothrombotic debris entrapped in the filter could reduce or stop antegrade flow. We present a case of pseudo-no-reflow phenomenon after postdilatation of the stent in a patient with asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis. After several passes using an Export Aspiration catheter, normal flow in the internal carotid artery was restored. Aspiration thrombectomy can successfully recover pseudo-no-reflow phenomenon.

We investigated the angiographic findings and the clinical outcomes after carotid artery stenting (CAS) using two different, eccentric filter embolic protection devices (EPDs). Between July 2010 and August 2015, 175 CAS procedures were performed using a self-expandable closed-cell stent and a simple eccentric filter EPD (FilterWire EZ in 86 and Spider FX in 89 procedures). The angiographic find...

BACKGROUND No-reflow associated with direct angioplasty (PCI) of patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) is associated with unfavorable results. METHODS AND RESULTS We used a new thrombectomy device to treat 51 lesions in 48 consecutive ACS patients (40 male and 8 female; mean age 63 years) and conducted a microscopic analysis of aspirates and blood samples retrieved from the culprit cor...

Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the standard treatment strategy for patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). However, despite the early restoration of epicardial artery flow, microvascular obstruction and reduced myocardial perfusion may occur. The " no-reflow " phenomenon is associated with a large infarct size and poor outcomes. The pathogenesis of no-refl...
