Giant aneurysm of an aortocoronary venous bypass graft compressing the right ventricle
2007
A 69-year-old man with a history of coronary artery bypass grafting and a recent inferoposterior myocardial infarction presented to the hospital for diagnostic coronary angiography. Physical examination, laboratory analyses, coronary angiography, echocardiography, and CT scan were performed. A giant aneurysm of the aortocoronary venous bypass graft, associated with compression of the right side of the heart, was revealed. After surgical resection and replacement of the venous graft the patient died due to right ventricular failure. (Neth Heart J 2007;15:252-4.)
