Popis: Saphenous vein graft (SVG) anastomotic lesions can have significant fibromuscular hyperplasia and may be resistant to balloon angioplasty alone. Stents have been used successfully to treat these lesions. There are no reports of immediate stent recoil following such treatment in the literature. We describe immediate and persistent stent recoil in an anastomotic SVG lesion even after initial and post-deployment complete balloon dilatation of the stent and its successful treatment by cutting balloon angioplasty. Resumo: As lesões de enxerto de veia safena (EVS) anastomótica podem ter hiperplasia fibromuscular significativa e podem ser resistentes à angioplastia de balão. Stents têm sido utilizados com sucesso no tratamento de tais lesões. Apesar de tratar estas lesões com stents, não há relatos na literatura de recoil imediato dos stents. Relata-se um caso de recoil persistente e imediato do stent numa lesão do EVS anastomótica logo após a dilatação inicial do balão e pós-implantação completa do stent e seu tratamento bem-sucedido com angioplastia com cutting balloon.
