    Abstract:
    Aneurysm of an aortocoronary saphenous vein graft (SVG) is a rare but potentially fatal complication after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Prevention of cerebral infarction or myocardial infarction due to the intraluminal debris from the SVG aneurysm is an important issue during surgical procedures. We report two patients with SVG aneurysms located in the proximal and distal portions of the SVG body, respectively. The surgical strategy for each case was determined according to the location of the aneurysm. We used low-flow cardiopulmonary bypass without aortic clamping in one patient and cardiac arrest with aortic clamping in the other. Both patients were discharged without sequelae.
