| Abstract: | We report a successful percutaneous closure of a brisk coronary artery rupture with a custom-made “vein graft stent,” a Palmaz-Schatz stent covered with a vein graft. This method is an elegant and effective alternative to the traditional surgical approach and should be considered whenever technically and clinically feasible. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc. |
