Successful treatment of a saphenous vein graft pseudoaneurysm with PTFE-covered JoStents.
A pseudoaneurysm of a saphenous vein bypass graft to a first diagonal coronary artery is reported. The patient presented with worsening angina symptoms 14 years after her first bypass surgery when this diagonal graft was implanted. Angiography revealed a 3 x 3 cm pseudoaneurysm of the graft. The perforation site was successfully occluded by two overlapping polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-covered JoStents.
