Unsuccessful long-term outcome after treatment of a vein graft false aneurysm with a polytetrafluoethylene-coated Jostent.
We describe a case in which a stented ulcerated plaque in an old vein graft ruptured to a huge false aneurysm. By the use of a PTFE-coated Jostent, the false aneurysm could be percutaneously closed. However, 6 months later, a new false aneurysm, probably due to focal perforation of the covered Jostent, developed.
