Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome after paclitaxel-eluting stent implantation in 40 patients with 52 saphenous vein graft lesions. By Kaplan-Meier estimates, the probability of major adverse cardiac event-free survival for 1 year was 92.5%. A paclitaxel-eluting stent for saphenous vein graft disease appears to be feasible and safe, with a low rate of reintervention at 1 year, but late follow-up is needed to confirm these observations.
