| Popis: | We present a case of repeat percutaneous intervention on a coronary artery bypass vein graft using polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) covered stents. The original intervention was performed using a combination of PTFE covered stents and bare metal stents for a large vein graft aneurysm. Successful exclusion of the aneurysm was demonstrated on follow up angiography. The patient represented six years after the original intervention with a non ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. Further angiography demonstrated a recurrence of the aneurysm which we presumed to be due to late malapposition and required repeat PTFE covered stent deployment. |
