2021 ACA Revascularization Guideline
Class 2a Recommendation, Level of Evidence: B-R[1] |
Usage of an embolic protection device, when technically feasible, is reasonable in order to decrease the risk of distal embolization in patients with previous CABG who are undergoing PCI of a saphenous vein graft. |
Class 2a Recommendation, Level of Evidence: B-NR [1] |
If feasible, PCI of the native coronary artery is preferred over the PCI of a severely diseased saphenous vein graft in patients with previous CABG. |
