Successful aneurysm resection and coronary artery revascularization following saphenous vein graft aneurysm rupture

Abstract

Saphenous vein graft aneurysms after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) have been rarely reported. Their incidence and natural history are poorly defined. Herein, we present a patient who presented acutely with contained rupture of a large saphenous vein graft aneurysm 12 years after CABG, which was successfully managed with open aneurysm resection and regrafting.
