Abstract
Coronary revascularization using balloon angioplasty and stent placeme nt for unstable angina was performed in a 74-year-old woman with an ao rto-ostial occlusion of a ''Y-type'' saphenous vein graft and a severe stenosis in the body of a 14-year-old left anterior descending saphen ous vein graft, Multiple prior coronary bypass graft surgeries, locati on of branch graft lesions, and length of the ostial stenosis must be considered in selecting the approach to revascularization.
