We report on a case of coronary perforation during stenting of a saphenous vein graft with a biliary stent. Sealing of the perforation was achieved with another btltary stent deployed within the first stent at the site of the perforation, and with prolonged balloon inflation. This case illustrates t

Abstract
A 90βyearβold male underwent coronary stenting following a bout of coronary insufficiency. Coronary stenting was performed 6 hr following the last dose of lowβmolecularβweight heparin but was complicated by extensive intrastent clot formation. Lowβmolecularβweight heparin in the absence of a glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor blocker may be insufficient during percutaneous coronary intervention. Β© 2005 WileyβLiss, Inc.
