✦ Synopsis
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 that vein graft perforation can occur with coronary stenting, and could potentially be treated with prolonged balloon inflation and/or stenting at the site of the first stent.
