Angioplasty of a large aortocoronary bypass graft utilizing a single oversized balloon catheter

Abstract

Angioplasty of large saphenous vein grafts may present problems because of unavailability of adequately sized balloon dilatation catheters. We report a case of successful PTCA of a left anterior descending graft by using a 5 mm balloon and a standard 8F guiding catheter.
