Abstract
Since its inception in 1967, saphenous vein coronary artery bypass graft (SVCABG) surgery has become the procedure of choice for revascularization of the myocardium in patients with angina refractory to medical therapy. Complications of bypass surgery have been reported both in the immediate postoperative period and late, months to years after surgery. We present an unusual complication: rupture of a SVCABG aneurysm. Computed tomography (CT) demonstrated the pseudoaneurysm, angiography identified the site of rupture from an aneurysm of the vein graft, and therapeutic embolization occluded the bleeding site.
