Multiple aortocoronary bypass saphenous vein graft aneurysms in a 77-year-old man.

چکیده
Aneurysms of aortocoronary saphenous vein bypass grafts are a rare complication of coronary artery bypass grafts. The authors report the incidental finding of four aneurysms in two aortocoronary saphenous vein bypass grafts in a 77-year-old man with progressive generalized weakness, left facial drooping, and digitalis toxicity. A brief review of the literature on this rare condition is also provided.

He underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in 1982, followed by a redo-CABG in 1992, which involved a venous graft to his right coronary artery. A chest radiograph revealed a large shadow on the right border of the heart. This was thought to be a lung tumor, because he...
متن کاملMultiple aneurysm of saphenous vein graft with low symptoms 16 years after coronary artery bypass grafting.
Aneurysms of saphenous vein graft are a known but rare complication of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). In this report, we present a case of a 59-year-old man who presented 16 years after CABG, three aneurysms of the saphenous vein graft to the right coronary artery compressing right atrium but with low symptoms. Transoesophageal echocardiography and CT scan were used to identify the ane...

BACKGROUND Graft patency is a fundamental predictor of long-term survival after coronary artery bypass surgery. Left and right internal thoracic artery (arterial) graft patency has been shown to be superior to that of saphenous vein grafts. More recently, the radial artery has been used as an aortocoronary graft, but little is known about the midterm and long-term patency of this conduit. We pe...

متن کاملGene delivery to aortocoronary saphenous vein grafts in a large animal model of intimal hyperplasia.
OBJECTIVE More than 50% of aortocoronary saphenous vein grafts are occluded 10 years after surgery. Intimal hyperplasia is an initial, critical step in the progression toward occlusion. To date, no clinically relevant large animal models of aortocoronary saphenous vein graft intimal hyperplasia have been fully characterized. Gene therapy holds promise as a novel treatment for aortocoronary saph...
