✦ Synopsis

Saphenous vein graft occlusions have been successfully treated with extended urokinase infusions. We report a case of myocardial infarction complicating this treatment. A review of reported cases suggests that this complication may not be uncommon. The optional drug, dose, and infusion technique for intra-graft lytic therapy has not been determined. The costs, risks, and difficulty of this technique may limit its application.

Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) due to saphenous vein graft (SVG) occlusion has been associated with poor procedural results and poor short-term outcomes, but long-term graft patency and patient survival have not been evaluated.
