[Percutaneous intervention to a radial coronary artery graft. Initial results and follow-up].

The use of radial artery grafts for coronary bypass surgery is becoming more frequent. However, experience with percutaneous coronary intervention for radial artery graft failure is limited. We describe a patient with a radial artery graft in whom angina reappeared because of de novo stenosis in the graft. The patient was successfully treated with balloon angioplasty and stenting. At 6 months he again had angina due to a second de novo stenosis of the radial artery graft, which was also treated with angioplasty. At follow-up the patient remained asymptomatic with no evidence of ischemia.
