  • Title: Superior epigastric artery pseudoaneurysm--a rare complication of chest drain insertion in coronary artery bypass grafting.
    Author: Sadat U, Jah A, Ward N, Gaunt M.
    Journal: J Cardiothorac Surg; 2007 Apr 25; 2():21. PubMed ID: 17459158.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Although chest drain insertion during coronary artery bypass grafting is a fairly standard procedure, however it may result in extremely rare complications. CASE PRESENTATION: This is the first case being reported that demonstrates a pseudoaneurysm of superior epigastric artery resulting from chest drain insertion following coronary artery bypass grafting. CONCLUSION: Adequate caution should be used along with good understanding of the anatomical landmarks during apparently simple and standard operative procedures.
