Rupture of a saphenous vein bypass graft during coronary angioplasty.
A self-limited rupture of a five month old saphenous vein bypass graft occurred during coronary angioplasty when the balloon used to stretch the vessel proved to be too large. A lack of fibrous tissue in the new graft may have predisposed it to rupture.
متن کاملPercutaneous Coronary Intervention of Saphenous Vein Graft.
BACKGROUND Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) has historically been associated with a high risk of adverse ischemic events, but there is a paucity of contemporary data on the second-generation drug-eluting stent use within SVG, and the relative importance of high platelet reactivity (HPR) in SVG PCI versus native lesion PCI is unknown. We studied ischemic a...
متن کاملSaphenous vein graft percutaneous coronary intervention
In this issue of the Netherlands Heart Journal, IJsselmuiden et al. present a multicentre randomised control trial in which the STENTYS self-expanding bare metal stent (BMS) is compared with the STENTYS paclitaxel-eluting stent (PES) in saphenous vein grafts (SVGs). Primary endpoint of the trial was late lumen loss at six months follow-up, secondary endpoint was major adverse cardiac events (MA...
متن کاملPercutaneous coronary angioplasty of a bifurcation lesion in the Y saphenous vein graft
Background: The use of Y-shaped aorto-coronary saphenous vein grafts is most commonly driven by efforts to replace the poor quality (length) of the vein grafts or to minimise manipulation of the atheromatous ascending aorta (Jarvis [1]). We found only a few case reports describing PCI of bifurcation lesions in vein grafts in the available scientific literature (Karalis [2], Prosser and Bailey [...
متن کاملTools & techniques: Percutaneous intervention of saphenous vein graft lesions.
© Europa Digital & Publishing 2013. All rights reserved. Background The percutaneous treatment of patients with obstructive atherosclerotic disease in coronary saphenous vein bypass grafts (SVG) remains a challenge in interventional cardiology. Patients undergoing SVG intervention are often older, and suffer significant comorbidities. Moreover, SVGs usually present a degenerated pattern of athe...
