title: [Instent rupture of a saphenous vein graft during percutaneous intervention successfully treated with a covered stent].
abstract: Percutaneous coronary interventions of saphenous vein grafts are associated with an increased risk of periprocedural complications; among these, the rupture of the vein graft is probably the less common and the most dangerous; it is even more exceptional when it occurs on a stented portion of the graft. We report the case of a 75-year-old man who presented during a balloon angioplasty of intent restenosis of a saphenous vein graft a spectacular graft rupture at the level of the previously stented site and who was ultimately successfully treated with a covered stent.
