    Author: Fares W, Sharifi M, Steele R, Sarhill N, Sopko J, Ramana CV, Koch JM.
    Journal: Catheter Cardiovasc Interv; 2003 Sep; 60(1):45-7. PubMed ID: 12929103.
    Abstract:
    Mega-aneurysms of saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) to coronary arteries are rare complications of bypass surgery. We report the development of superior vena cava syndrome secondary to an SVG mega-aneurysm with concomitant fistulous communication to the right atrium. Successful treatment was achieved by coil embolization and chronic anticoagulation.
