Abstract
BackgroundPost-procedural coronary aneurysms can have high morbidity and mortality. Although found more commonly on ultrasound or computed tomography imaging, if large enough, they may appear on chest x-ray studies. Case ReportsWe present two cases of coronary artery aneurysm visible on chest x-ray study—one originating from a saphenous vein graft and the other a left anterior descending artery pseudoaneurysm 1 week post heart catheterization.
