Abstract
We report on a case of coronary perforation during stenting of a saphe nous vein graft with a biliary stent. Sealing of the perforation was a chieved with another biliary stent deployed within the first stent at the site of the perforation, and with prolonged balloon inflation. Thi s case illustrates that vein graft perforation can occur with coronary stenting, and could potentially be treated with prolonged balloon inf lation and/or stenting at the site of the first stent.
