Popis: The aim of the study was to compare acute and long-term angiographic and clinical outcome of balloon angioplasty and elective stenting in de novo lesions in the body of a saphenous vein graft (SVG). A total of 150 patients, with de novo lesions in SVG, were randomly assigned to balloon angioplasty or elective Wiktor I stent implantation. The angiographic restenosis rate at 6-month follow-up was 32.8% in the balloon group and 19.1 % in the stent group (P = 0.069). At 1-year follow-up, target vessel revascularization rate was 31.4% vs. 14.5% (P
