Saphenous vein aneurysm following coronary artery bypass grafting.
Aneurysmal dilatation in a venous graft following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is extremely rare. Recently, we performed a resection of aneurysm and redo CABG in two patients who developed aneurysmal changes in the graft, one after 1 year and 10 months and the other after 3 years and 11 months, and obtained good results.
