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

J Am Osteopath Assoc. 2006 Nov;106(11):663-6.

Abstract

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.
