Comparison of creatine kinase elevation and outcome of comparison of percutaneous coronary intervention for saphenous vein graft in-stent restenosis versus de novo stenosis

Am J Cardiol. 2003 Oct 15;92(8):980-3. doi: 10.1016/s0002-9149(03)00984-6.

Abstract

Percutaneous coronary intervention of saphenous vein grafts is associated with distal embolization. We aimed to compare potential differences in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention for in-stent restenosis with de novo saphenous vein graft lesions. Myocardial necrosis was associated with higher mortality regardless of lesion type.
