Acute coronary syndrome in patients after coronary artery bypass grafting is caused mostly by unstable lesion in the saphenous vein graft, less often by unstable lesion in the native coronary artery. We report a case, in whom it is difficult to decide whether to perform percutaneous coronary intervention in unstable lesion of the saphenous vein graft or in chronic stable lesion in the native coronary artery supplied by this graft.
