ABSTRACT
Saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) are common, as is their degeneration and early failure after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). Percutaneous SVG intervention with drug-eluting stents (DES) was associated with superior short-term clinical outcomes. However, SVG intervention compared with coronary intervention often results in distal embolisation and periprocedural myocardial infarction. In this case, we discuss 9 and 14 month follow-up neointimal coverage of a DES implanted in a 15 year-old SVG and other morphological changes using angioscopy.
