When 7 times angioplasty on Saphenous Vein graft would not compete the Native vessel Percutaneous Coronary intervention
Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) has been the first option for revascularization in multiple vessel coronary artery disease. One of the most major obstacles after CABGs is atherosclerotic changes of SVGand more than 50 percent ofSVGare occluded at 10 years and 25 percent show severe stenosis at angiographic follow-up. Whether native vessel percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on native vessel or saphenous vein graft intervention is of benefit in these patients is still a debate. In this case report we want to clarify a common clinical scenario in a patient with prior CABG seven years ago which a proper decision in the right time could save many futile efforts. The patient underwent 7 PCI on the diseased SVG on OM with frequent occlusion due to stent thrombosis and in-stent restenosis which finally native vessel antegrade CTO PCI alleviated the problem and patient followed up 2 months after the procedure without any chest pain in his ordinary activities.
