β¦ Synopsis
A 74-yr-old man with two prior coronary bypass surgeries experienced perforation of an occluded aortocoronary vein graft during a transluminal extraction catheter (TEC) procedure for unstable angina. The perforation was successfully closed using a Palmaz 154 stent covered with a short segment of autologous antecubital vein. c 19% Wllny-LImm. inc

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
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-
## Abstract Background: Small randomized trials have shown shortβterm improved outcome with drugβeluting stents (DES) over bare metal stent (BMS) in saphenous vein graft (SVG) interventions by reducing inβstent restenosis and target vessel revascularization (TVR). It is not clear, however, if these
