Abstract
We report a successfully percutaneous closure of a brisk coronary artery rupture with a custom-made "vein graft stent," a Palmaz-Schatz stent covered with a vein graft. This method is an elegant and effective alternative to the traditional surgical approach and should be considered whenever technically and clinically feasible.Keywords
