✦ Synopsis
In this case report, we present the clinical and angiographic follow-up 8 years after implantation of autologous arterial graft covered stent in a thrombus-containing lesion in the proximal segment of left anterior descending artery. The patient was asymptomatic after the implantation of the covered stent until 2 months prior to the coronary angiography. In the repeat angiography, the left anterior descending artery was patent at the site of the covered stent implantation. At the proximal and distal sites of the covered stent, there was no restenosis. In this case report, there were no long-term technique-related complications after the successful autologous arterial covered stent deployment.
