Revascularization of a thrombosed, previously stented aorto-renal graft using combined directional atherectomy and AngioJet thrombectomy

Catheter Cardiovasc Interv. 1999 Jan;46(1):85-8. doi: 10.1002/(SICI)1522-726X(199901)46:1<85::AID-CCD21>3.0.CO;2-H.

Abstract

We report an interesting case with bilateral PTFE aorto-renal grafts of which one graft underwent balloon angioplasty and stenting for proximal stenosis. Combined debulking by AngioJet thrombectomy and Simpsons directional atherectomy was performed within the stent following reocclusion of the graft 9 months later.
