title: Cutting balloon-assisted angioplasty of an anastomotic carotid-brachial bypass graft stenosis.
abstract: Neointimal hyperplasia leads to anastomotic stenosis in bypass grafts. These stenoses are often resistant to conventional balloon dilatation. We present a case of a carotid-brachial bypass graft stenosis, which was treated by a 5-mm cutting balloon angioplasty with a good angiographic and clinical result.
