Abstract EN
Aneurysms of saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) to coronary arteries are rare, usually asymptomatic and found incidentally.
We report a case of an 84-year-old female who was found to have 8.1 × 8.4 cm aneurysm of an SVG to obtuse marginal (OM) artery.
The aneurysm was prior to the distal anastamosis but no flow into the OM artery was noted.
Cook Tornado Embolization Coils were used successfully to occlude the SVG proximal to the aneurysm.
No complications occurred.
The use of embolization coils is an effective and safe method for aneurysm occlusion when the anatomy is suitable and especially when patient is high risk for repeat surgical intervention.
