Post-stenting enlarging false aneurysm of a saphenous vein graft.
Stenting seems to be a definitive procedure after failed balloon coronary angioplasty. This report describes a case of redo coronary bypass grafting and concomitant resection of enlarging false aneurysm of a saphenous vein graft that developed secondary to stenting for recurrent stenosis after serial percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. It warns us of a pitfall in catheter intervention in an aged saphenous vein graft.
