Transcatheter aspiration of atheroma prolapsing through saphenous vein graft stents.
Endoluminal stenting has often become the percutaneous treatment of choice for older vein grafts. We report a case of successful stenting of a degenerated vein graft that was complicated by prolapse of atheroma through the stents leading to ischemia that was successfully reversed by catheter aspiration of the prolapsed atheroma.
