[Angioplasty of intra-stent restenosis of a saphenous graft complicated by massive embolism].
The main risk of angioplasty of saphenous vein aortocoronary bypass grafts is myocardial infarction by distal embolism, explaining the introduction of systems of distal protection with encouraging results. Although embolism of an atheromatous stenosis is classical, that of intra-stent restenosis is exceptional. The authors report a very unusual case of atheromatous and/or thrombotic embolism occurring during angioplasty of an intra-stent restenosis which was recovered by a micropore filter system.
