Abstract 

Cutting balloon angioplasty (CBA) has been used in the revascularisation of coronary arteries; however, more recently a role has been suggested in the salvage of failing infrainguinal grafts. We report a case of a vein graft aneurysm following treatment of a vein graft stenoses using CBA. This is a rare complication of cutting balloon angioplasty which may become more prevalent as this technique becomes more widespread.
