Abstract EN
We report a case of a 74-year-old man who presented with dyspnea on exertion and pedal edema.
He had five-vessel coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery twenty-six years ago and redo three-vessel CABG done thirteen years later.
Computed tomographic angiography (CTA) of the heart and coronary vessels demonstrated a giant aneurysm arising from the saphenous venous graft (SVG) to the first obtuse marginal of the left circumflex artery compressing the pulmonary artery (PA).
He underwent coronary angiography, confirming the CTA findings.
Surgical and percutaneous interventions were offered, but the patient opted for conservative management due to the high risk of morbidity and mortality.
