Optimal stent expansion is considered imperative today in order to prevent subacute stent thrombosis and allows us to minimize antithrombotic therapy. The short-term angiographic and long-term clinical follow-up of a patient with a suboptimally expanded vein graft balloon expandable stent is presented. Intensive antithrombotic treatment along with unimpeded blood flow were probably highly beneficial.

Intracoronary irradiation emerges as a promising method in a variety of restenosis prone coronary lesions. We report the acute and long-term clinical, angiographic, and ICUS follow-up of a patient who underwent a successful angioplasty with stent placement in a chronic coronary occlusion with adjuva
The long-term patency of saphenous vein graft (SVG) lesions after intervention has been shown to be improved with new interventional techniques such as stents. Long-term outcome of patients undergoing successful angioplasty of totally occluded old SVGs with new devices is unknown. From July 1994 to
