  • Title: Superior caval vein stenosis due to giant aneurysm of the right coronary artery.
    Author: Ovrum E, Frøysaker T, Vatne K.
    Journal: Thorac Cardiovasc Surg; 1984 Dec; 32(6):383-5. PubMed ID: 6084337.
    Abstract:
    Aneurysms of the coronary arteries may cause angina, myocardial infarction or sudden death due to thrombosis, embolization or rupture. The patient described herein may represent the first reported case of a large coronary artery aneurysm compressing the upper caval vein, and thereby producing a significant inflow gradient. The anatomical details were demonstrated by digital subtraction angiography (DSA). The patient successfully underwent resection of the aneurysm and reconstruction of the coronary artery with a saphenous vein bypass graft.
