title: Off-pump resection of aorto-saphenous vein graft pseudoaneurysm.
abstract: Pseudoaneurysms of saphenous vein grafts are rare. We present the case of a 58-year-old man who presented with recurrent angina nine years following quadruple coronary artery bypass graft surgery in 1983. He was found to have an aneurysm arising from the ascending aorta. The patient underwent off-pump aorto-saphenous vein pseudoaneurysm resection and redo coronary artery bypass grafts.
