Optimal stent expansion is considered imperative today in order to prevent subacute stent thrombosis and allows us to minimize antithrombotic therapy. The short-term angiographic and long-term clinical follow-up of a patient with a suboptimally expanded vein graft balloon expandable stent is presented. Intensive antithrombotic treatment along with unimpeded blood flow were probably highly beneficial. Cathet. Cardiovasc. Diagn. 41:413–414, 1997. © 1997 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
