Giant coronary artery bypass graft pseudoaneurysm presenting as a haemothorax.
Coronary artery bypass graft pseudoaneurysms are rare. A case of a giant coronary artery pseudoaneurysm with probable intrapleural leakage and resulting haemothorax 14 years after coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) is presented. The computed tomography (CT) and angiographic appearances are described. To our knowledge, this clinical presentation of a CABG pseudoaneurysm has not been described. Walsh, G. (2001).
