Pseudoaneurysm formation involving the body of an aortocoronary saphenous
vein graft is a rare event. True aneurysmal dilatation of the graft and
anastomotic pseudoaneurysm formation occur more commonly. We present the
case of a 73-year-old woman in whom a pseudoaneurysm communicating with the
body of a posterior descending coronary artery saphenous vein graft
developed, presumably after a postoperative sternal wound infection. The
aneurysm was excised and the defect within the saphenous vein graft
repaired using hypothermia and circulatory arrest.
