Key result
Aortic dissection complicating percutaneous coronary intervention of a saphenous vein bypass graft was treated percutaneously by stenting with a membrane-covered stent.
Case Report (n=1)
Retrograde ascending aortic dissection complicating saphenous vein graft PCI can be managed percutaneously using a membrane-covered stent.
Covered-stent deployment may permit percutaneous repair of retrograde aortic dissection in SVG PCI; this Level 5 case leaves open need for validation.
Aortocoronary dissection can occur as a complication of angioplasty of native coronary arteries. This case report is of aortic dissection occurring as a complication of percutaneous coronary intervention of proximal anastomoses of a saphenous vein bypass graft. The aortic dissection that had progressed retrogradely into the ascending aorta was treated percutaneously by stenting in the saphenous vein graft with a membrane-covered stent.

Shah et al. (2005) conducted a case report in Aortic dissection complicating percutaneous coronary intervention of a saphenous vein bypass graft (n=1). Percutaneous stenting with a membrane-covered stent was evaluated. Aortic dissection complicating percutaneous coronary intervention of a saphenous vein bypass graft was treated percutaneously by stenting with a membrane-covered stent.
