A case of emergency stent deployment to a critical vein graft lesion in a patient with an acute myocardial infarction and cardiogenic shock is described. An Angioguard vascular protection device was used, retrieving a large amount of atheromatous debris. Use of filter‐type protection devices to prevent distal atheroembolism may be lifesaving in such patients. Cathet Cardiovasc Intervent 2002;57:234–238. © 2002 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
