title: Treatment of a ruptured saphenous vein graft pseudoaneurysm using a vascular plug.
abstract: Saphenous vein graft pseudoaneurysm is an uncommon complication of coronary bypass grafting. Hemoptysis associated with diffuse bleeding into the lung tissue may be the initial manifestation of this condition. We report a case of a saphenous vein graft pseudoaneurysm that presented with hemoptysis and was successfully treated with a proximal vascular plug.
