Hemopericardium Due to Idiopathic Coronary Artery Rupture Treated with Saphenous Vein Patch Plasty
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a case of an idiopathic coronary artery rupture in a 41-year-old male patient who was admitted to the hospital with cardiac tamponade. On opening the chest via a median sternotomy and establishing cardiopulmonary bypass the hemopericardium's cause could be identified as a perforation of the right posterior descending coronary artery which was treated with a saphenous vein patch plasty. With idiopathic coronary artery rupture being a rare diagnosis, one should always consider it in a young patient presenting with cardiac tamponade.

Patch repair of anomalous origin of the left main coronary artery from the anterior aortic sinus.
Anomalous origin of the left main coronary artery from the anterior aortic sinus is a rare but potentially lethal congenital disease. We report two adolescent patients with this anomaly who underwent surgical plasty using a saphenous vein patch, rather than unroofing or fenestration technique, as was typically done. This report suggests that surgical angioplasty can be performed safely and effe...

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 ca...
