Venous aneurysms

We report the case of a large venous aneurysm of a 22-year-old white man. After evaluation and diagnosis, the aneurysm was resected without difficulty. Cause, diagnosis, treatment, and possible complications are discussed.

Coronary artery venous bypass graft aneurysm with symptomatic coronary artery emboli

A 53 year old man, asymptomatic for 9 years after aorto-right coronary artery venous bypass surgery, developed two prolonged episodes of myocardial ischemia during a 7 month interval. Diagnostic exercise tests subsequent to each episode were normal. Coronary angiography demonstrated marked dilation with filling defects of the venous bypass graft. A large thrombus-filled venous bypass graft aneurysm was excised at surgery. Spontaneous coronary artery embolization related to a venous bypass graft aneurysm has not been described previously, but may become more frequent as survival and follow-up after coronary bypass surgery lengthen.
