It was reported that the graftmaster 4.8 x 26 mm covered stent was successfully deployed at 16 atmospheres to treat an aneurysm located in the saphenous vein graft (svg) to the obtuse marginal completely sealing the aneurysm.However, this resulted in a perforation of the saphenous vein graft at the inflow of the initial stent as a complication which was sealed successfully with another graftmaster 4.8 x 26 mm covered stent.The second device was able to successfully overlap the initial stent and seal the perforation.Intravascular ultrasound of the saphenous vein graft, post stent deployment, revealed excellent stent expansion, well apposed to the vessel wall.Patient tolerated procedure well with no complications.The patient will undergo a repeat computerized tomography coronary angiography in 3-6 months.No additional information was provided.
