  • Title: Case of successful percutaneous stenting of an in situ gastroepiploic-coronary bypass graft.
    Author: Roriz R, de Gevigney GD, Howarth N, Revel D.
    Journal: Cathet Cardiovasc Diagn; 1998 Sep; 45(1):67-9. PubMed ID: 9736357.
    Abstract:
    The in situ or free gastroepiploic artery (GEA) is being used as an arterial conduit for coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG). The recent rapid improvements in stent manufacture, particularly their profile and flexibility, and related equipment, have helped reduce complications of coronary angioplasty. We describe one case of successful stenting of an in situ GEA-posterior descending artery graft. Stenting of an in situ GEA graft may avoid an incomplete result of angioplasty with possible restenosis or the need for multiple surgical revascularization. The use of stents in GEA grafts with 6 Fr soft guiding catheters can be encouraged.
