It was reported that the patient presented with nstemi and a 3.0x38 mm xience sierra stent and a 3.5x38 mm xience sierra stent were placed in the saphenous vein graft (svg) to posterior descending coronary artery (pda).There was under dilated resistant disease noted in the 3.0x38 mm xience sierra stent; therefore, high pressure dilatation was performed with a 3.5 mm non-compliant balloon dilatation catheter (bdc), and a perforation was noted.Balloon tamponade was attempted and then three graftmaster covered stents were implanted.Three graftmaster devices were required as there was persistent leak of the perforation.No issues with deployment of the graftmaster devices were noted.There was marked improvement; however, there was a mild persistent contrast blush.Stat echocardiography showed a small effusion on the right ventricle.Periocardiocentesis was performed.The perforation was ultimately sealed by the use of the graftmaster devices and post dilatation.The patient is stable.No additional information was provided.
