Saphenous vein graft aneurysm: an incidental finding.

Omar Rana1, Kim Greaves, David Shepherd, Simon Parvin, Rosie Swallow.   

Abstract

Saphenous vein graft aneurysm (SVGA) is an uncommon complication of coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). An 82-year-old man underwent contrast-enhanced computed tomography to investigate aorto-iliac disease. He was coincidentally noted to have an aneurysm of the saphenous vein graft to his right coronary artery. This was visualised on transthoracic echocardiography, computed tomography and coronary angiography. In the absence of symptoms and in view of high surgical risk, conservative management with anticoagulation was chosen. The patient was commenced on warfarin and remains asymptomatic.
