[Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty of a constricting coronary artery bypass graft: a case report].
A case with percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) for the stenosis of saphenous vein bypass graft was reported. A 68-year-old woman developed repeated effort angina two months after emergency triple CABG. Coronary angiographic study revealed 90% stenotic lesion in a sequential vein graft which was located between proximal and distal OM. PTCA was successful to dilate the stenotic lesion from 90% to 25% narrowing. She has been free from angina after the CABG and PTCA.
