Balloon angioplasty for restenosis of coronary stents as a “bridge” to emergency coronary bypass grafting in non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome

Abstract

This case demonstrates the possibility of using balloon angioplasty in patients with non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome and restenosis of previously implanted coronary stents as a measure to temporary stabilize coronary blood flow and the patient’s condition for preoperative preparation for subsequent emergency coronary bypass grafting.
