Vessel rupture and/or perforation represent a serious complication of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of vein grafts. This report presents the case of a 79-year-old man who underwent PCI and stent implantation on a saphenous vein graft after acute coronary syndrome, complicated by graft perforation which was successfully treated with implantation of an MGuard stent. The MGuard stent system has a microfiber net anchored to the external surface of stent and, besides trapping thrombus, might be useful to obtain closure of little vessel perforation. Of note, the MGuard stent system does not require prolonged dual-antiplatelet therapy.

Abstract
Vessel rupture and/or perforation represent a serious complication of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of vein grafts. This report presents the case of a 79-year-old man who underwent PCI and stent implantation on a saphenous vein graft after acute coronary syndrome, complicated by graft perforation which was successfully treated with implantation of an MGuard stent. The MGuard stent system has a microfiber net anchored to the external surface of stent and, besides trapping thrombus, might be useful to obtain closure of little vessel perforation. Of note, the MGuard stent system does not require prolonged dual-antiplatelet therapy.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
