چکیده
A man showed a 90% narrowing at the origin of a saphenous vein graft (SVG) 6 years after bypass surgery. After 4 days of intravenous thrombolytic therapy the narrowing in the SVG disappeared completely. Thus, late stenosis of SVG can be caused by thrombosis not superimposed on organic narrowing.

متن کاملApixaban for the treatment of saphenous vein graft thrombosis presenting as unstable angina: a case report
BACKGROUND Saphenous vein graft thrombosis can present as unstable angina. However, percutaneous coronary intervention for saphenous vein graft lesions poses a high risk of slow flow related to the procedure. Here we present the utilization of the novel oral anticoagulant, apixaban, in the treatment of unstable angina with extensive saphenous vein graft thrombus, leading to considerable thrombu...
متن کاملRuptured atheromatous plaques in saphenous vein coronary artery bypass grafts: a mechanism of acute, thrombotic, late graft occlusion.
Although early occlusion of saphenous vein coronary artery bypass grafts is usually thrombotic, late occlusion is most often a result of progressive intimal fibromuscular proliferation or atheroma formation in the implanted vain. We describe another mechanism of late graft occlusion: atheromatous plaque rupture with superimposed occlusive thrombosis. Four men, ages 48-67 years underwent repeat ...
