Endoluminal stenting has often become the percutaneous treatment of choice for older vein grafts. We report a case of successful stenting of a degenerated vein graft that was complicated by prolapse of atheroma through the stents leading to ischemia that was successfully reversed by catheter aspirat
Distal embolization is a common complication of percutaneous intervention in saphenous vein grafts. This may lead to the "no reflow" phenomenon and subsequent myocardial infarction. We describe a case in which we occluded the distal portion of a saphenous vein graft with a balloon to prevent distal
A 68-year-old man developed unstable angina 12 years following coronary artery bypass surgery. Angiography revealed an extensive area of severe stenosis and diminished distal flow in a right coronary artery vein bypass graft. Given the high distal embolism rate associated with conventional catheter-
