Abstract
This is the first report of a total reconstruction of a diseased saphe nous vein graft, with thrombus-containing lesion and multiple stenoses , by the implantation of arterial graft-and venous graft-coated stents , and of conventional stents. The procedure was successful without any complications, and follow-up angiography after 6 months revealed pate ncy of the vessel. (C) 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
