Coronary stenting with MGuard: from conception to human trials

Multicentre experience with MGuard™ net protective stent in ST‐elevation myocardial infarction: Safety, feasibility, and impact on myocardial reperfusion

“…These characteristics make this device very attractive for any intervention where thromboembolic complications might affect procedural and clinical success, such as PCI in STEMI setting. In fact, animal and human studies showed that this new device is safe [11,12] and could be useful for patients with a great amount of coronary thrombus [13][14][15].…”

MGuard Mesh‐Covered Stent for Treatment of ST‐Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction with High Thrombus Burden Despite Manual Aspiration

“…1, 2 The MGuard™ stent (InspireMD, Tel Aviv, Israel) is a novel mesh-covered stent that has been designed to prevent thrombus fragmentation and distal embolization during stent implantation. 3 Although the MGuard stent has been shown to be safe and effective in consecutive patients with STEMI, its use in selected patients with persistent high thrombus burden after thrombus aspiration has not been described.…”

Alternative Stents in ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction: Improving the Efficacy of Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

“…During stent deployment, this biocompatible micronet stretches and slides over the expanded stent struts resulting in the formation of customized pores [24], thereby potentially entrapping thrombus and plaque fragments underneath the micronet against the vessel wall. This feature may lead to prevention of distal embolization and microcirculatory protection in the acute setting of STEMI.…”
