The FilterWire EX is one of the filter protection devices developed as alternatives to balloon occlusion system for percutaneous coronary intervention. Its use has been recommended in vessels between 3.5 and 5.5 mm in diameter and no data are available on its use in smaller vessels. We evaluated the safety and feasibility of using FilterWire EX in native coronary arteries smaller than 3.5 mm. We successfully deployed and retrieved the FilterWire EX in 49 coronary arteries with a mean vessel diameter of 2.62 +/- 0.45 mm at device deployment. Reversible vasospasm was observed in 24 (50%) vessels, coronary flow was temporarily reduced in 22 (44.9%), and distal embolization was noted in 2(4%). There was no vessel dissection induced by the device. These data suggest that it is safe and feasible to use the FilterWire EX in small coronary arteries.
