WIRION EPS Filter with Jetstream Atherectomy of Femoropopliteal Arterial Disease: A Single Center Experience
Highlights
- • Clinically significant distal embolization (DE) occurs in 1.6-5% of infrainguinal arterial interventions
- • The WIRION EPS filter was recently approved in the US with all atherectomy devices based on the WISE LE trial
- • The WIRION filter can be used on any 0.014” guidewire and be locked and positioned at any level within the artery.
- • The safety of the WIRION with Jetstream atherectomy in a real world setting has not been evaluated.
- • In this single center study, The WIRION appears safe with Jetstream atherectomy with no filter related complications.
- • The filter appears effective in capturing debris in a large proportion of patients.
Abstract
Background
The WIRION EPS filter was recently approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be used in conjunction with all atherectomy devices when treating infrainguinal peripheral arterial disease. The safety of this filter with Jetstream atherectomy (JA) in a real world setting remains unclear.
