We describe a case in which a stented ulcerated plaque in an old vein graft ruptured to a huge false aneurysm. By the use of a PTFE‐coated Jostent, the false aneurysm could be percutaneously closed. However, 6 months later, a new false aneurysm, probably due to focal perforation of the covered Jostent, developed. Cathet. Cardiovasc. Intervent. 50:105–108, 2000. © 2000 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
