  • Title: Bilateral arteriosclerotic coronary arterial aneurysms successfully treated with saphenous vein bypass grafting.
    Author: Wilson CS, Weaver WF, Forker AD.
    Journal: Am J Cardiol; 1975 Feb; 35(2):315-8. PubMed ID: 1078932.
    Abstract:
    A man with ischemic heart disease was discovered to have bilateral coronary arterial aneurysms that were sucessfully treated with saphenous vein grafting. Preoperative coronary arteriograms revealed a tight luminal stenosis at the proximal end of the large aneurysm in the left anterior descending artery, suggesting poststenotic dilatation as an etiologic or contributing factor. The right coronary artery was totally occluded proximally, but was noted to be aneurysmal at operation. This is the 14th published case of nonfistulous coronary arterial aneurysm diagnosed in vivo, and the first associated with proximal luminal stenosis.
