title: Superior epigastric artery pseudoaneurysm--a rare complication of chest drain insertion in coronary artery bypass grafting.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Although chest drain insertion during coronary artery bypass grafting is a fairly standard procedure, however it may result in extremely rare complications.
  
  
  METHODS
  This is the first case being reported that demonstrates a pseudoaneurysm of superior epigastric artery resulting from chest drain insertion following coronary artery bypass grafting.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Adequate caution should be used along with good understanding of the anatomical landmarks during apparently simple and standard operative procedures.
