Magnetic resonance imaging diagnosis of an aortocoronary saphenous vein graft aneurysm.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allowed the diagnosis of an atherosclerotic aneurysm of a long-standing aortocoronary saphenous vein graft, initially not depicted by selective coronary graft arteriography due to low flow within the lumen, caused by a stenosis of the proximal graft limb.
