Percutaneous management of a saphenous vein graft perforation using a covered stent and final coil embolization technique

چکیده
Coronary artery perforation as a result of percutaneous coronary intervention is a rare complication which may result in cardiac tamponade, myocardial infarction and death. Perforation of a saphenous vein graft is unusual and generally requires surgical intervention. We describe a novel percutaneous approach that facilitated the successful management of a potentially catastrophic saphenous vein graft (SVG) perforation.

Hemoptysis caused by saphenous vein graft perforation during percutaneous coronary intervention.
Percutaneous coronary intervention carries the risk of coronary artery perforation, which may lead to serious adverse effects such as cardiac tamponade, myocardial infarction, and even death. We describe a patient who developed hemoptysis immediately after saphenous vein graft rupture, which is a rare complication during coronary intervention. Stenting using a covered stent, along with simultan...
متن کاملPercutaneous Management of a Long Saphenous Vein Graft Aneurysm: A Case Report and Review of Literature
Aneurysms of saphenous vein grafts are rare but can result in complications such as myocardial infarction or death. Percutaneous treatment has included a variety of approaches, including covered stents. Long aneurysms in saphenous vein grafts pose an additional challenge due to the lack of coronary covered stents with sufficient length. We present successful treatment of a long saphenous vein g...
متن کاملPCI in severely degenerated saphenous vein graft using a novel mesh-covered stent together with a conventional embolic protection system.
Although the protection with filter-based devices during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in a saphenous vein graft (SVG) reduces major adverse cardiac events, a large number of patients undergoing SVG PCI still experience these events. New methods must be used in order to reduce this incidence. Novel local plaque-trapping stents have been developed and show promise in pilot human testi...
متن کاملIs a Metallic Microcoil Really a Permanent Embolic Agent for the Management of Distal Guidewire-Induced Coronary Artery Perforation?
Coronary artery perforation (CAP) after percutaneous coronary intervention is a rare, but serious complication. It can cause cardiac tamponade, acute myocardial infarction or death. The treatments of CAP involve prolonged balloon inflation, emergent surgery, coil embolization, and implantation of covered stent. We have successfully performed the emergent microcoil embolization in a patient with...
متن کاملSaphenous vein graft aneurysms; the true, false and ugly!
The reported incidence of minor dilation of reversed saphenous vein grafts used for coronary artery bypass grafting varies up to 14%, however significant aneurysmal dilation is unusual. We report on the findings and management of a series of four patients with reversed saphenous vein graft aneurysms (rSVG). These cases show some of the salient and very unusual features at presentation. rSVGs ar...
