Distal Cuff Occlusion: A Novel, Simple Approach for Distal Embolic Protection in Peripheral Vascular Intervention.

CONCLUSION: Our study demonstrated that the cuff-occlusion strategy was feasible and safe for protection form distal embolization in PVI. Further study is required to evaluate the efficacy and safety of this novel method compared with existing devices for distal protection. PMID: 28878099 [PubMed - in process]
