Distal embolization of large particles at the time of balloon inflation or stent deployment may obstruct large, epicardial vessels, but the scope of the problem includes microvascular obstruction due to very small particles, as little as 15-100 microns, that may result in microinfarcts and left ventricular dysfunction [ 4].
The relative contribution of platelet aggregates or atheromatous material to distal embolization and vessel occlusion in native coronary arteries is unclear.
Independent predictors of distal embolization include diffuse degeneration and large plaque volume rather than thrombus, and angioscopy studies have found that vein graft friability, rather than thrombus, was a stronger predictor of distal embolization and 'no-reflow' [ 9, 10].
