title: Transluminal extraction atherectomy for aortosaphenous vein graft stent restenosis.
abstract: The optimal strategy to manage in-stent saphenous vein graft (SVG) restenosis has not been studied. We present two cases in which transluminal extraction atherectomy (TEC) was used successfully for the treatment of SVG stent restenosis. TEC atherectomy may provide an alternative to conventional balloon angioplasty for such patients.
