Pseudoaneurysm of a septal perforator in beating heart coronary bypass grafting.
A 46-year-old man with unstable angina underwent beating heart coronary bypass grafting for a left anterior descending coronary artery. Postoperative angiography showed intramuscular extravasation (6 x 8 mm) distal to the anastomosis, which was most likely the result of a needle injury caused by a snare during the operation. Follow-up angiography 2 weeks later revealed no extravasation.
