Popis: A 52-year-old man with a history of prior coronary bypass surgery suffered recurrent angina and underwent percutaneous placement of a stent within the midportion of the saphenous vein graft to the marginal branch of the left circumflex coronary artery, which was complicated by a significant perforation. The perforation was successfully closed using an NIR stent covered with a segment of autologous antecubital vein. Subsequent surgical exploration confirmed successful closure of the perforation.
