Abstract
We describe a case in which a stented ulcerated plaque in an old vein graft ruptured to a huge false aneurysm. By the use of a PTFE-coated Jostent, th e false aneurysm could be percutaneously closed. However, 6 months later, a new false aneurysm, probably due to focal perforation of the covered Joste nt, developed. (C) 2000 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
