  • Title: Saphenous vein graft pseudoaneurysm rupture after coronary artery bypass grafting.
    Author: Mohara J, Konishi H, Kato M, Misawa Y, Kamisawa O, Fuse K.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 1998 Mar; 65(3):831-2. PubMed ID: 9527226.
    Abstract:
    An elderly woman underwent coronary artery bypass grafting, which was followed 1 month later by pseudoaneurysmal rupture at the distal anastomosis of a saphenous vein graft. Emergency repair of the suture line dehiscence was made, and the postoperative course was uneventful. Pseudoaneurysm formation of a saphenous vein graft after coronary artery bypass grafting is a rare but potentially lethal complication requiring urgent operative intervention.
