Rupture of a saphenous vein bypass graft during coronary angioplasty. 1987

E Drummer, and K Furey, and J Hollman

A self-limited rupture of a five month old saphenous vein bypass graft occurred during coronary angioplasty when the balloon used to stretch the vessel proved to be too large. A lack of fibrous tissue in the new graft may have predisposed it to rupture.
