  • Title: Obstruction of aortocoronary bypass due to blunt chest trauma.
    Author: Esplugas E, Barthe JE, Sabaté J, Fontanillas C.
    Journal: Int J Cardiol; 1983 Jun; 3(3):311-4. PubMed ID: 6603430.
    Abstract:
    We report the first case in the literature of acute myocardial infarction due to blunt chest trauma in a patient with saphenous vein aortocoronary bypass to the anterior descending coronary artery. Angiograms demonstrated two stumps - aortic and coronary - suggesting that the primary obstruction was at the graft level with subsequent anterior descending occlusion. A large left ventricular aneurysm developed. As his clinical situation was stable, early aneurysmectomy was not done, and the patient is asymptomatic 15 months after the trauma.
