This document explores advanced techniques for managing saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) in patients with critical limb ischemia and acute coronary syndromes. It outlines the use of laser catheters, saline infusion protocols, and critical interventions in complex cases, illustrated with real patient scenarios. Key points include the essential saline flushing protocol during laser activation to optimize contact with the lesion, as well as details on patient demographics, medical history, and procedural outcomes. Designed for healthcare professionals, this summary serves as a resource for enhancing procedural techniques in SVG management.

How I Deal With...SVGs Simon Redwood St Thomas’
Mr PM, 55 years old • CABG 1993 • SVG – LAD • SVG – OM2 • 8F LCB
Laser Catheter 0.9, 1.4. 1.7. 2.0 mm diameter
Particle Size post 308 nm ablation 5% : > 5 - <12 micron 50% : < 1 micron 45% : 1 – 5 micron Erytrocyte = 7µ
Saline Infusion Protocol In order to obtain an optimal contact between catheter tip and lesion it is mandatory to implement the saline infusion protocol. 15-20 ml saline bolus after each contrast injection 15-20 ml saline flush during every laseractivation (5 sec)
