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-
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 aut
## Abstract The restenosis rate after stenting of lesions in aortocoronary venous bypass grafts still has to be considered unsatisfactorily high. We investigated a new stent design characterized by an expandable polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE) membrane in between two layers of struts. Five consecutiv
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 This report demonstrates the use of a covered stent for the correction of a fistula from a saphenous vein graft to the right ventricle. The use of this stent resulted in complete obliteration of the fistulous tract and restoration of flow into the sequential limb of the graft. Cathet Ca
