Abstract
A saphenous vein graft (SVG) aneurysm is a rare complication seen in coronary artery bypass grafts (CABG). While the sternotomy for surgical correction is used in most of these patients, depending on the patient’s condition, an alternative method may be required. This case is a 64-year-old man who developed SVG aneurysm more than 10 years after CABG and underwent a successful percutaneous transcatheter exclusion of SVG aneurysm using 10 mm Amplatzer Vascular Plug 2, resulting in prevention of blood flow into the aneurysm and future rupturing. This case illustrates the potential of noninvasive treatment with flexible procedures based on the patient’s anatomy and risk for complicated surgery. Keywords: Amplatzer vascular plug, saphenous vein graft, saphenous vein graft aneurysm, coronary artery bypass graft
