Polytetrafluoroethylene-covered stent for the treatment of narrowings in aorticocoronary saphenous vein grafts

We compared the outcome of patients with saphenous graft disease treated with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-covered stents or noncovered stents. Angiographic success was similar; non-Q-wave myocardial infarction was lower in the PTFE group (p = 0.06) and long-term major cardiac events and restenosi...

Zusammenfassung:	We compared the outcome of patients with saphenous graft disease treated with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-covered stents or noncovered stents. Angiographic success was similar; non-Q-wave myocardial infarction was lower in the PTFE group (p = 0.06) and long-term major cardiac events and restenosis rate were similar in the 2 groups. Implantation of PTFE-covered stent in vein graft disease seems to reduce the occurrence of distal embolization.
