Transluminal extraction atherectomy may provide an alternative to conventional balloon angioplasty for patients with in-stent saphenous vein graft restenosis.
May warrant consideration for SVG in-stent restenosis; leaves open comparative efficacy versus angioplasty in controlled trials.
The optimal strategy to manage in-stent saphenous vein graft (SVG) restenosis has not been studied. We present two cases in which transluminal extraction atherectomy (TEC) was used successfully for the treatment of SVG stent restenosis. TEC atherectomy may provide an alternative to conventional balloon angioplasty for such patients.
