Aortocoronary saphenous vein graft aneurysm misdiagnosed as aortic arch aneurysm
Coronary artery bypass grafting is the mainstay of revascularization worldwide. However, the most widely used saphenous vein grafts are related to a number of late sequelae.

Managing coronary artery vein bypass graft stump pseudoaneurysm: a novel approach
We present a case of a pseudoaneurysm of the saphenous vein graft stump, which was managed with percutaneous thrombin injection. Aneurysms of a saphenous vein coronary bypass graft are rare and aneurysms of a bypass graft stump are even rarer.
