Saphenous Vein Graft from Aorta to Coronary Vein with Production of Continuous Murmur: A Complication of Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery
1975

The postoperative finding of a continuous murmur led to cardiac catheterization and successful surgical correction. The postoperative finding of a continuous murmur must alert the clinician to this possible technical error.
