Pseudoaneurysm of aortocoronary vein graft secondary to late venous rupture: case report and literature review.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Formation of pseudoaneurysms of saphenous vein grafts after coronary artery bypass grafting has been reported previously in relation to anastomoses or secondary to infection. Pseudoaneurysm of the saphenous vein graft after late rupture of the saphenous vein and containment by the obliterated pericardial cavity has not been documented. Such a case is reported and published reports of similar cases are reviewed.

Late rupture of a saphenous vein aortorenal graft.
It is well known that aortorenal venous grafts can dilate, whereas actual rupture has not been reported. However, rupture of aortocoronary vein grafts has been reported. Dilations at this site are relatively less common, but such bypass grafting procedures are much more commonly performed, so the potential for rupture of dilated vein grafts is apparent. We report the first known rupture of a di...
متن کاملDehiscence of infected aortocoronary vein graft suture lines. Cause of late pseudoaneurysm of ascending aorta.
Two cases are described of late pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta caused by dehiscence of infected aortocoronary vein graft suture lines. Both cases were associated with early postoperative Staphylococcus aureus superficial wound infection. This complication should be suspected in patients developing protracted wound infections after operation, particularly when associated with rigors.

Pseudocysts containing activated enzymes are a common complication of pancreatitis. Pseudocysts can rupture into adjacent structures including the peritoneal cavity, adjacent organs, and rarely vascular structures. While arterial pseudoaneurysms and venous thrombosis or occlusion are well known complications of acute and chronic pancreatitis, only 17 cases of pancreas-portal venous fistula have...
متن کاملMay-Thurner syndrome, an uncommon diagnosis for a common disease: a case report and review of the literature
May-Turner syndrome is a relatively uncommon anatomical variation in which patients develop iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis (DVT) due to venous occlusion. In this syndrome, the left common iliac vein is compressed against the fifth lumbar vertebra by the right common iliac artery. The real incidence/prevalence of May-Turner syndrome is not precisely known, but it is estimated to be between 22 ...
متن کاملLate lumen loss in thoracic aortic end graft after endovascular procedure of a traumatic pseudoaneurysm
We report the case of a 23-year-old woman who died due to endograft stenosis 20 months after thoracic endovascular aortic repair. The patient presented with the pseudocoarctation syndrome.
