[Implantation of Palmaz stent for limb stenosis of Y-graft: a case report].

An 81-year-old woman complained of severe right leg claudication in 2000. She had undergone inverted Y-graft placement for infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm in 1998. Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) revealed severe stenosis at the right common iliac graft. Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) demonstrated a rare form of stenosis due to organized thrombus. Stent placement was successfully performed, utilizing a Palmaz stent. The stent has been patent for three years. The patient is asymptomatic and is being followed at our institute.
