Ruptured saphenous vein graft aneurysm

Ruptured saphenous vein graft aneurysm.

Ruptured saphenous vein graft (SVG) aneurysm is a rare source of significant morbidity and mortality. SVG is a common technique of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), but vein graft aneurysm and ruptured SVG aneurysm have not received the required attention as only few case reports exist. We present the case of a 50-year old man with ruptured vein graft aneurysm who had significant postoper...

Hemoptysis from a Ruptured Saphenous Vein Graft Aneurysm

Saphenous vein graft aneurysm: A case report

BACKGROUND Saphenous vein graft aneurysms (SVGAs) are rare seen issues after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) operation which may lead to major complications including compression of adjacent structure, myocardial ischemia, rupture, and even death. CASE REPORT We report a patient with recurrent SVGA and its treatment by percutaneous intervention with a covered stent, the diagnostic and tre...

Ruptured giant aortocoronary vein graft aneurysm.

A 62-year old man, with aortocoronary bypass 25 years before, re-presented with increasing chest pain. A computed tomography (CT) documented a ruptured giant true aneurysm of the vein graft to the left anterior descending (LAD), which was distally blocked (Fig. 1). Peripheral cannulation and redo sternotomy under deep hypothermic circulatory arrest were used to resect the aneurysm (Fig. 2), wit...

Giant aneurysm of saphenous vein graft to right coronary artery.

FIGURE 2. Another view of the computed tomographic scan showing the A 64-year-old white man presented with hemoptysis. He underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in 1982, followed by a redo-CABG in 1992, which involved a venous graft to his right coronary artery. A chest radiograph revealed a large shadow on the right border of the heart. This was thought to be a lung tumor, because he...
