Abstract
Pseudoaneurysm of a saphenous vein bypass graft is a rare occurrence after coronary artery bypass grafting but may have lethal consequences. We treated a giant pseudoaneurysm of a saphenous vein graft to the right coronary artery in an 80-year-old male Jehovah's Witness who had undergone coronary artery bypass grafting 4 and a half years earlier. His history revealed a recurrent sternal wound infection. By using a venous patch to close the damaged graft, we were able to perform a successful surgical repair without the need for extracorporeal circulation.
