Saphenous vein graft (SVG) pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Despite the high mortality associated with SVG pseudoaneurysm, there is no consensus on the optimal management of these pseudoaneurysms as they are infrequently reported in the literature. We report a case of a 55-year-old man with prior CABG surgery who presented with cough associated with hemoptysis and chest pain, and was found to have SVG pseudoaneurysm. The pseudoaneurysm was successfully closed with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-covered Jostent GraftMaster (Abbott Vascular, Santa Clara, CA). We propose that GraftMaster is an effective means of treating SVG pseudoaneurysms percutaneously.

Saphenous vein graft (SVG) pseudoaneurysms are an infrequent, but life-threatening complication of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery if left untreated. Here, we discuss the case of a 77-year-old patient, with a prior history of CABG and transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), who was incidentally found on computed tomography angiography (CTA) to have a pseudoaneurysm of his SVG with an initial chief complaint of dizziness. Despite increasing reports of SVG pseudoaneurysm, there is no consensus on definitive treatment.

Background And Objectives: Saphenous vein graft (SVG) is a cardiac surgical practice used to create a cardiac bypass in cases of coronary artery obstruction. It consists of a surgical procedure that involves the creation of an aorto-coronary communication by a venous conduit (saphenous vein) to bypass coronary stenosis and allow cardiac revascularization. This practice can be affected by early and late complications.

Pseudoaneurysms arising from the saphenous venous graft (SVGs) are an uncommon complication of the coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). Although angiography is the gold standard, computed tomography angiography (CTA) of the coronary arteries is the most efficient modality to diagnose these cases and their associated complications. Among numerous possible complications of SVG pseudoaneurysms, local mass effect on the cardiac chambers, adjacent pulmonary vasculature or coronary arteries/bypass grafts have been described.

Coronary artery aneurysm and pseudoaneurysm are rare and mainly result from atherosclerosis. We present a successfully treated case of a giant right coronary artery aneurysm and pseudoaneurysm with a coronary artery fistula, which might have developed after cardiac surgery for a right ventricular tumor 35 years earlier.

We present a case series of 4 iatrogenic ascending aortic pseudoaneurysms that were all successfully repaired with a percutaneous approach. Pre-procedural imaging, device selection, and procedural techniques are described. With careful preparation and patient selection, catheter closure of iatrogenic ascending aortic pseudoaneurysms can be performed reliably and safely.
